Halloween Weekend at the Museum

October 29-30, 2022
MoAR Carved Pumpkins

This Halloween weekend, Oct. 29-30, join us at the Museum and online for Revolutionary family-friendly frights and fun, including turnip-carving demonstrations, Revolutionary stencils for your jack-o-lantern, and more. Plus, children ages 12 and under who wear a costume on their visit get $2 off admission!

Turnip-Carving Demonstrations
Onsite | Schedule TBA
Learn from a Museum educator how early Americans in the Revolutionary era carved turnips — not pumpkins — to ward away evil spirits and watch a demonstration on how they were carved.

Pumpkin-Carving Stencils
Online | Anytime
With All Hallows' Eve quickly approaching, we know that choosing the perfect jack-o-lantern pattern can add some unneeded stress. We've created five pumpkin carving stencils to make your Halloween truly Revolutionary so that you can focus on planning the perfect trick-or-treating route.
