Trick or Treat at Cemetery Lane
Cemetery lane features 13 themed stops suited for the whole family located inside a gated “neighborhood” in the Heritage Square Museum. Children of all ages can trick or treat among Victorian homes, and a portion of the proceeds go towards preservation efforts for the Heritage Square Museum. Though there are non jump scares, they say the event is less scary during daytime hours, and as the night goes on it gets a bit spookier.
