Join us for a magical evening of storytelling by lantern light! Hopewell Furnace will serve as the backdrop to spooky stories and chilling tales that would have been familiar to Hopewell residents nearly 200 years ago.

Some of the content included on this program may be scary for young children. 

This program lasts half an hour and takes place outside. Participants can expect to travel across gravel and grassy terrain, including uphill and downhill slopes.
