Located at 5 Haldeman Road in Schwenksville, PA, Pennypacker Mills is an immersive Colonial revival mansion that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past.
Montgomery County historic house Pennypacker Mills is hosting three family-friendly events this fall to celebrate the history of Halloween. The festivities include spooky silent movies, traditional fall-fest activities with a Halloween costume contest, and an evening of chilling ghost stories around a cozy campfire. All events are free with a suggested $2 donation per person.
Ghost Stories by the Fire
Saturday, Oct. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
Gather around the campfire for spine tingling ghost stories brought to life by renowned storyteller and author, Charles J. Adams III. Adams is an expert in local legends- in fact, he literally wrote the book on Montgomery County Ghost Stories! Kick off spooky season at Pennypacker Mills with Ghost Stories by the Fire!
Please bring a blanket or chair to sit on during the performance. This performance is recommended for ages 13 and up. This event is sponsored by the Friends of Pennypacker Mills.
All Hallows Eve Fall Festival
