As darkness descends, the air cools and leaves crinkle underfoot, it’s starting to feel spooky out there. There is no better way to celebrate the coming of the Halloween season than with a trip to the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) on Route 10, just two miles outside of Delhi.
This October, on two evenings, Saturday, Oct. 18 and Saturday, Oct. 25, the historic Gideon Frisbee House will be open for special Twilight Lantern Tours where guests can learn about the “eerie” elements of the house - including the “coffin door,” the “break-neck” rear stairway, and the narrow room in which a “presence” is said to lurk.
The historic Frisbee family cemetery will also be open for guests to explore.
The lantern tours will be led by DCHA’s inimitable Samantha Misa, who will be attired in costume and on hand to answer questions guests may have about the house. A brief preview of what guests may expect to encounter can be seen at https://video.wskg.org/video/haunted-history-frisbee-house
Light refreshments will be available free of charge. Tours leave promptly each evening at 5 and 6 p.m. The cost for adults is $10, kids 12 and under are free. Tours are limited to eight people each.
Reservations are required by Oct. 16 and Oct. 23 respectively. Spaces fill up fast; call DCHA at: 607-746-3849 or email dchadelhi@gmail.com to register.
