| Starting in 2008, The Curran Homestead offered a Halloween experience specifically for young kids (toddlers-elementary schoolers). Although the program changes a bit every year, we have included a maze out on the large lawn which has a very creepy grave yard as its "desired" destination. We have had pumpkin decorating, costume contests, singalongs, and Model T rides,. In 2009, we offered kids the opportunity to help make apple cider with a 19th century cider press we have in our collection and that was specifically cleaned and put into perfect working condition for the purpose. The apples came from the Curran farm. We plan on developing programming that includes apples from the property in the future, and this will take some work bringing our old trees back to fruition. We hope to make the event a staple of the community's holiday celebration. |
