Historical Halloween
Safe, family-friendly trick-or-treating outdoors at the Somerset Historical Center
Throw on your Halloween costume and come out for a stroll through the historical Somerset Historical Center grounds. Trick-or-treat along lantern lit paths, visit historic structures and talk to costumed interpreters, and take a tractor-drawn wagon ride through the woods at our Annual Historical Halloween. Follow your complimentary passport to get your treat at each station and be on the lookout for the infamous Robber Lewis. "Catch" him for a special treat. At the end of the trail, you can warm-up under the pavilion with hot chocolate and maple kettle corn and a taste of fresh-pressed apple cider from our working cider press.
