Hartwell Halloween & Trick-or-Treat
Hartwell Tavern 
6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

 Do you believe in ghosts? Do you like history? Jack o’ Lanterns? Colonial music and dancing? Then come visit us at Hartwell Tavern! Walk down a path lighted by dozens of jack-o-lanterns. Talk with rangers and volunteers about ghostly folklore and how the people of Colonial New England protected themselves from evil spirits and witches. Enjoy authentic music and dancing of the colonial period while sipping on a cup of fresh apple cider. 

For trick-or-treaters of all ages the Friends of Minute Man will be offering individually wrapped candy so don your costumes and come trick-or-treating at an 18th century Tavern! 

This program will be both outdoors and indoors. All visitors should bring a flashlight and use caution on dark paths.
