Summary

Nestled in the rural beauty of Wisconsin, The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel offers more than just a place to rest or have a drink in the bar—it's a doorway into the past, where history and the supernatural intertwine. This historic establishment dates back to 1869 and has witnessed its share of tragedy, including a smallpox outbreak that claimed the lives of many who once sought refuge within its walls. Today, The Humbird continues to serve travelers, but some of its most poignant guests never left. The Humbird offers an eerie blend of hospitality, haunting, and adventure. Is it just the echoes of history, or do the souls who once stayed here never truly leave?

Today on The Grave Talks, The Humbird Historic Bar and Hotel, a conversation with owners Matt Hawkes and Elizabeth Havenor.
