Lock House Transforms for Fall Festival, Haunted House

Every year, the Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House winds down for the winter, when it closes for the season. But first, it is throwing two fall events.

This Saturday, the Lock House is hosting a fall festival during the day and a haunted house at night.

The fall festival will include autumn activities such as pumpkin painting, which is available for $1. There will also be apple cider, storytelling and games.

During the haunted house, guests will travel through rooms at the Lock House that have transformed for Halloween. Ghosts, witches, goblins and other scary surprises await in the old home on the Susquehanna River, where the lock tender used to live during the days of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal. Tricks and treats will be part of the experience, according to the museum. Admission is $1.

The fall festival is from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25. The haunted house will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25. Both are family friendly, according to organizers. To get into the haunted house, admission is $1. The Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House is located at 817 Conesteo Street in Havre de Grace.
