As the leaves continue to change color and the air starts to get cooler, you can’t deny that it’s starting to feel a little 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 on Route 10, just two miles outside the village of Delhi.
This October, on Saturday Oct. 22 and 29, the historic Gideon Frisbee House will be opened for a special Twilight Lantern Tour where guests can learn about the more 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 any questions guests may have about the house. A brief preview of what guests may expect to encounter can be seen here.
Light refreshments will be available free of charge. Tours leave promptly each evening at 5 and 6 p.m. Cost: adults $10, kids 12 and under free. Tours are limited to eight people, and masks are required.
Reservations are required. Spaces fill up fast. Call DCHA at 607-746-3849 or email dcha@delhi.net to register.
