(From the Hancock Historical Museum)

The Hancock Historical Museum’s annual Halloween Spooktacular presented by Hancock Federal Credit Union will return from 5 – 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19.

Perfect for all ages, visitors will enjoy tours of the “haunted” Hull House, built in 1881, and sample seasonal treats cooked over the hearth in the historic Crawford Log House.

Guests are encouraged to come in costume.

Throughout the museum campus, children will enjoy face-painting, pumpkin and cookie decorating, crafts and games.

A variety of activities will be provided by community partners, including the Children’s Museum of Findlay, Rieck Center for Habitat Studies, OSU Extension, YMCA, Blanchard River Watershed Partnership, Scouts, ADDAPTCO, 50 North and the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library.

Children will receive a complimentary Halloween-themed book while supplies last, courtesy of the Richard P. Barchent Jr. Educational Fund.

Admission is free for museum members and $1 per person for nonmembers.

Spooktacular is made possible by Hancock Federal Credit Union and Area Dentists.

All proceeds of the event go directly toward the museum’s annual operations, allowing the organization to preserve Hancock County history, host exhibits and provide educational programs for all ages.

The Hancock Historical Museum is located at 422 W. Sandusky St. in Findlay.
