Tips from locals
Supposedly haunted - Preston Castle was constructed in 1894 as a reform school for boys. The Romanesque Revival style of architecture was to make the building look like a school rather than a prison.
The "castle" was built in the 1890s as the Preston School of Industry. Tours are offered primarily April through September, as well as special events, theater productions, and more.
