SPOOKY DAYS ON THE FARM 10:00AM to 5:00PM
Enter Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm after dark, if you dare. Activities take a turn towards the things that go bump in the night on the farm around Halloween that will thrill and chill visitors of all ages. For those unshakable nerves, on Friday and Saturday nights put your detective skills to the test by helping solve a murder mystery. A guide will help take you around the farm as you meet the suspects, gather clues, confront the Hag of the Woods, explore the creatures of the night, and more! During the day on Saturday and Sunday gather your family and explore the traditions and history of Halloween. Play games, listen to stories, learn about the creatures of the season, take a horse and wagon ride, and much more! Get into the haunted Halloween spirit with something more unique then just another haunted house. This event takes place rain or shine and is both indoors and outdoors, so please prepare for the weather.
