The Historic RailPark & Train Museum has announced its fall schedule of UnSeen Bowling Green historic walking tours.

The tours, which will run from September until October, will feature the Murder & Misdemeanors Tour, The REAL Housewives of Bowling Green Tour and Pauline Tabor’s XXX Tour.

Early access to purchase tickets will be Aug. 20 for RailPark members only. The general public can purchase tickets on Aug. 22.

Tickets can be purchased at UnSeenBGKY.com or by calling the RailPark at (270) 745-7317.

Debbie Eaton, trolley tour and programming manager at the RailPark, said the RailPark has been hosting the UnSeen walking tours since 2018.

“The public has really embraced it,” she said. “And they are very curious about the history of Bowling Green. A lot of the stories are taken from old newspaper articles, but there are some that are not found in the paper or in history books.”

Eaton said the most popular tour, Pauline Tabor’s XXX Tour, will return with more fun for adults 21 and over. Participants will hear stories about Bowling Green’s famous madam as they stroll through downtown Bowling Green and visit some of the local bars.

“The Pauline tour is so popular,” she said. “We have had people calling and asking about it all year long. They are just so curious about Pauline.”

Pauline will be played by Ashlea Shepherd, who has taken on the role before.

New to this year’s event are Shane Holinde, who will play a retired police detective with the Murders & Misdemeanors tour, and Brandey Freeman with The REAL Housewives of Bowling Green tour.

During the Murders & Misdemeanors tour, guests will get to hear stories of crime and the darker side of Bowling Green that they may have never heard before.

“Some of the stories are very sad, but there are others, like some of the crimes, that will almost make you laugh,” Eaton said.

Eaton, who has been working on the Real Housewives tour, said she has uncovered information about some of the remarkable women of Bowling Green – “some good and some bad” – that people probably know nothing about.

“For the most part, it will be a real eye-opener,” she said. “There’s going to be a lot of surprises and I’m disappointed that I couldn’t include information about every single woman that I learned about.”

Eaton said all stories are thoroughly researched and new stories are added each year to keep the tour fresh and entertaining.

“There are so many legends that we discuss that aren’t well-documented and we make sure to let the audience know if that legend is rumor or gossip,” she said.

Tour dates for the Murders & Misdemeanors tour are Sept. 5, 6, 12, 13, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 and Oct. 3, 4, 5, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 and 31.
