The George Ferris Mansion in Rawlins is a Victorian house on the National Register of Historic Places, built in the early 1900s by Julia Ferris after her husband George, a rancher and mine owner, died in 1900. Julia lived here until her death in 1931. Local radio and a paranormal group tell of the ghosts of George, Julia and their son Cecil, with guests reporting noises and power outages. It operated for years as a bed and breakfast but has been listed for sale and is not taking guests, and the ghost stories are local lore.
Private property that is no longer operating as a bed and breakfast; it can be seen from the street. Please do not enter.
