THE FEEL
Of all things, Olney is known for having an unusual number of reported ghost sightings. But we suspect some of these stories might just be a ploy to keep Olney’s rural, undiscovered character exactly that—rural and undiscovered. Located off old rural routes, and with a river called the “Lost Branch,” Olney has, with a little imagination, a mysterious character to it that some relish.
ACCESSIBILITY

SCHOOLS
