Museums in Havre de Grace Welcome Trick-or-Treaters
Four museums bring education and spookiness together on Halloween night.
The door to a museum is not necessarily one trick-or-treaters would knock on, but this year, there are four museums that hope costumed children stop by.
"We are trying something new," said Bethany Baker, executive director of Concord Point Lighthouse, one of four locations staying open Halloween night to showcase the city's spooky heritage.
- Concord Point Lighthouse sheds light on the dark side of Concord Point's history. The Keeper's House will be decorated as well; Concord Street at Lafayette Street.
- Havre de Grace Maritime Museum unearths the Old Conowingo Town's watery grave; 100 Lafayette St.
- Steppingstone Farm Museum shares ghost stories and Halloween treats; 461 Quaker Bottom Rd.
- Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House morphs into a haunted house for the occasion; 817 Conesteo St.
"We want the community to have fun, safe places to go on Halloween and...to show that the museums are working together to provide education and entertainment for everyone," Baker said.
Trick-or-treaters are welcome from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31. Admission is $1 per museum.
