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).
