We’re all decked out for the spooky season at the Sandusky History BOO-seum! During the month of October we’ll be featuring a unique selection of slightly macabre, but historically Victorian-period-accurate displays and artifacts from the museum collection as well as pop-up themed programs and activities.
This weekend on Sat., October 17th from 1-4pm at the Sandusky History BOO-seum, discover the history and traditions of tarot cards through lighthearted demonstrations.
From hair wreaths, mourning outfits, funeral finds, and even a wooden headstone from Johnson’s Island, you’ll want to stop in to see a variety of oddities and educational exhibits. Plus lots of creepy dolls!
And the magic of the season doesn’t end there because each weekend throughout the month, we’ll have a spellbinding theme and an un-FROG-ettably fun scavenger hunt that ends with a TOAD-ally pond-erful prize! All free and open to the public.
Coming up: October 24th – Learn more about Victorian spiritualism in one of our 19th-century parlor rooms.
October 31st – Trick-or-Treat! We’ll be handing out real candy, for kids of all ages. And we’ll be having candy-making demonstrations as well.
*Don’t forget the Sandusky History Museum (and Sandusky Library) is also a “Cauldron Stop” as a part of the Sandusky Witches Walk. Stop in for a stamp!
