Is Tarabino Inn haunted?
Tarabino Inn has a long history, and with more than a century of stories comes a collection of local legends. Guests and former residents have shared tales of unexplained footsteps, apparitions, and other mysterious experiences over the years.
We enjoy preserving these stories as part of the Inn's rich history, but most guests are far more likely to remember the beauty of the mansion, a delicious breakfast, and a peaceful night's sleep.
Can I learn more about the Inn's history during my stay?
Jeanne and Dora will be happy to talk to you about the history of Tarabino Inn. In your suite, you will also find an anthology of articles about the inn and Trinidad written especially for the Inn. The library on the first floor of the inn has books related to the history of the inn and surrounding area.
