The Ticonderoga Historical Society will celebrate the Halloween Season with a free program entitled “Haunted Hancock: Ghostly Tales of Champlain” on Friday, October 22 at 7 p.m. at the Hancock House, 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga.
“We will be taking a look at the darker side of the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain region,” said program presenter Diane O’Connor. “Our area is rich in history and the supernatural is woven throughout that history in a powerful way. The evening’s tales will include local spirits of soldiers, trappers, witches and otherworldly beings.”
The program will be held outdoors around a campfire. Attendees should dress warmly, and bring their own lawn chairs. Reservations are strongly encouraged, as this program is one of the museum’s most popular. Reservations may be made by calling 518-585-7868 or via e-mail to tihistory@bridgepoint1com. Refreshments will be served.
As a regional institution dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain Region, the Ticonderoga Historical Society encompasses a four-story museum with substantial collections and research library, as well as an active educational program series available for community organizations.
