Halloween Fun at the Trolley Museum
|
The Connecticut Trolley Museum will once again be hosting its popular Halloween events, Pumpkin Patch & Rails to the Darkside. These two fundraising events are extremely important to funding the museum’s many family programs.
This event is held with the help of the Shaker Pines Fire Dept. who add a whole new dimension to the frightfulness of the evening. The Fire Department also benefits from tickets sales with a portion of each ticket sold going to them. As the fall chill fills the air, on the darkest of nights, mournful cries of the abandoned dead are heard on the tracks at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.

Pair up your child with a caring, teen reading mentor! Reading Buddies is not instruction, but rather a chance for kids to connect over the love of a good book.

Editorial
A Gift from the Creator
|
When the French Jesuit priests first saw the native people (in the area now Canada and upstate New York) playing a game using a stick with netting, they called it Lacrosse because it looked like the staff a Bishop carries in religious ceremonies.
