Join us at Historic Hanna’s Town for a fun celebration of fall and the Halloween season with historic demonstrations and outdoor activities.
Members of Proctor’s Militia, I.B.W.C.P., will be encamped at Historic Hanna’s Town and sharing the history of the Westmoreland County militia, established at Hanna’s Town in 1775, and life for settlers on the Pennsylvania frontier. Additionally, the Loyalhanna Spinners will present historic textile making demonstrations, and the Blacksmith Shop will be open for demonstrations.
Children and families can enjoy trick or treating at all the different locations, as well as fall crafts, candle making, toys & games and a Halloween themed scavenger hunt. We encourage dressing up in costume for trick-or-treating around the historic site. Take a self-guided walk along our woodland trail and and learn the traditions of Halloween, and enjoy the fun of a hay ride around the field by the reconstructed fort. Hayrides will be available from 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Suggested donations are $5 a family or $2 a person.
Proctor’s Militia will demonstrate 18th century military drills tentatively at 1:00 p.m. (weather depending). Following the drills around 1:30 p.m., follow Lisa Hays, on a guided walk up to the family cemeteries on the hill. Learn about the families who settled the property after the destruction of Hanna’s Town and the history of how cemeteries have changed over time.
The Westmoreland History Shop will feature seasonal décor and a preview of holiday merchandise, as well as local history books for adults and children, 18th century inspired toys and games, historically inspired home decor, handmade ceramics and jewelry, and Hanna’s Town themed keepsakes.
PROGRAM FEE: Enjoy all activities with our regular admission price to Historic Hanna’s Town. Free for Westmoreland Historical Society members and children 5 and under; $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and students through grade 12.

Event Details
Come volunteer at the Westmoreland Historical Society and Historic Hanna’s Town!
We will be having our first volunteer meeting of the year on Wednesday, February 22nd and also on Saturday, February 25th. We will be having two meetings to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. If you can’t make it Wednesday, come Saturday! Both meetings will begin at 1:00 p.m. in our Education Center.
Volunteers can work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, and helping at the gift shop, or can assist behind-the-scenes shelving books in the library, setting up for events, or caring for our gardens. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. There are many ways to get involved and help us preserve and share local history.
This is a general meeting for returning and new volunteers to introduce themselves and to plan and discuss the upcoming season at Historic Hanna’s Town, with the intent of setting up later volunteer trainings and orientations for those interested in guided tours, school tours, etc. This will be a point of discussion at this volunteer meeting, and those interested in volunteering with the shop, library, or other opportunities can also call to set up private training.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. We are open to volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, homeschool students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.
