Looking for something to do this weekend? Here are 5 events in and near Sumner County!
1Haunts at the Font
October 21, 6pm – 10pm
Cragfont State Historic Site
200 Cragfont Road, Castilian Springs
Take a lantern tour along the trail from the historic tobacco barn to the Cragfont mansion looming in the distance, enshrouded in darkness. Guests will interact with a number of “restless souls” from the home’s spirited past. Dressed in period clothing, each “ghostly” visitor will have brand new spine-tingling stories to tell this year. Before and after the haunted walk, there will be servings of apple cider by the fire, ghost stories and the soothingly spooky sounds of historic murder ballads performed by the Traveling Caudells. This event is selling fast, so those planning on attending need to make sure to purchase tickets as soon as possible to ensure they get the time they want.
