Historic Hanna’s Town offering fall and Halloween programs
Fall-themed events at Historic Hanna’s Town in Greensburg include a family day and candlelit tours.
Evening Jack-o’-Lantern Tours will be offered on Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29, with departures at 6, 6:30 and 7 p.m. Guests will be taken on a candlelit tour, and learn about the superstitions of Westmoreland County’s Scots-Irish settlers regarding the Celtic New Year, Samhain, or Hallowe’en. Samhain meant “summer’s end” and was a time of reflection and preparation for the long, hard winter. The New Year was celebrated from sundown on Oct. 31 through Nov. 1.
Cost is $12 per person or $10 for Westmoreland Historical Society members. Reservations are required by calling 724-836-1800 x210.
