🎃 Is it really Headless Horseman without a good spooky story?

For 13 years, storyteller Ty Stover has been bringing eerie tales to life at Conner Prairie! After 12 years performing his one-man version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Ty is taking on something new this season with Tomorrow's Show, a haunting tale inspired by a circus train wreck in the late 1800s. With nearly 40 years of acting experience, Ty brings six different characters to life in this year's performance!

Hear more about Ty's history at Conner Prairie, then catch his storytelling during Headless Horseman, presented by Bank of America, Thursday through Sunday through October 25!
