    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!


    You’re guaranteed to have a spook-tacular time listening to terrifying tales and ghostly stories as you walk the shadowy streets of Collingwood’s Heritage Conservation District. You’ll hear about ghostly experiences, including the smell of cigar smoke and footsteps in the former Enterprise Bulletin newspaper building, apparitions in the hallways of a doctor’s house, and so much more!

    Evening guided tours will be offered on Friday, October 24, Wednesday, October 29, and Thursday, October 30 at 7:00 p.m. The 2 km walking loop will begin and end at the Collingwood Museum and take approximately 1.5 hours. Limited tickets are available for $16.95 (plus service fee) and can be purchased online through the Collingwood Museum’s website or by calling Museum staff.

    Tales by Lantern Light PA Day Program

    Step into the glow of lantern light for a morning of mysterious tales and old-time magic! In this Halloween-themed PA Day program, children ages 6 – 12 will discover how stories were told before electricity, using magic lanterns, stereoscopes, and zoetropes to make images dance. We’ll explore curious artifacts and make our very own working zoetrope to take home.

    The program runs on Friday, October 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Preregistration is required. $15 per child, or $12 for Museum Members.
