Sheridan Historical Society
The Sheridan Historical Society is playing host to the Punkin family this Halloween season. The family is celebrating the season by making an appearance at the Society’s Museum front windows for all to see, especially on the evening of Monday, Oct. 31.
That’s Halloween, of course, and as usual the community will celebrate with a big parade of costumed kids and adults on Main Street. After the parade, all participants are invited to visit merchants and trunk ‘n treaters all up and down Main Street for fun and candy. The Museum will be open, and girls and boys of all ages are invited into the Museum for trick or treat candy bags (while they last!) and fun and games.
The Punkin family will be on display in the Museum’s front windows, docents will be available for a guided tour of the artifacts and displays we have, Sandy, the Ben Franklin horse, will be available for rides, and other activities are planned. Best of all – and we hope this does not occur – if the weather is cold or rainy, or God forbid if it is snowing, you can come into the museum to sit and warm up and visit with us.
We hope you will plan to be on Sheridan’s Main Street for the parade and Halloween fun. And we hope you will come by the Museum and meet the Punkin family. They will be disappointed if you don’t stop by and say hello. Or just come the Museum after dark any evening for the next few weeks and see our Punkin display in the windows.
The Museum is located at 315 S. Main St. in beautiful uptown Sheridan.
