Morris County - Morris Plains - All Hallows’ Evenings @ The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms

The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms
All Hallows’ Evenings
As Spiritualism surged in popularity in the 19th and early 20th century, people, from the curious to the grieving, found comforting and entertaining ways to connect with their deceased loved ones. Believers would meet in private homes for séances, or at larger halls, conventions or camps hoping to make a connection.
The Halloween, 1913 Tour
Join us for an after-hours tour, where this October it’s 1913! In the 1910s, Halloween was not yet the holiday for children it is today. For some, October 31st was a night for matchmaking and fortune-telling, and for others, reaching beyond the veil. 

Friday, October 25 at 6:00 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday, October 26 & 27 at 5:30 p.m.
$10 Member; $15 Nonmember
