Halloween events in Old Town Dayton include ghost walk, community dance
If you’re looking for old-fashioned Halloween events, you’re in luck. Two big events will be held in Old Town Dayton on Oct. 29.
On Friday, Oct. 29 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. the Ghostly Pioneers of Dayton presents a free “Ghostly Pioneers” tour begins at the Old School House Museum at Shady Lane and Logan Alley. Walkers will encounter both treats and tricks as they make their way around Old Town Dayton with a special map to spooky performances by “spirited” characters of Dayton’s past. Laura Tennant of the Historical Society says to “be prepared for many surprises along the streets of Dayton.
The Historical Society of Dayton Valley and Healthy Communities Coalition, both nonprofits, have partnered to create the tour in which many spirits of Dayton’s past will greet walkers with treats and spooky tales.
Although there is no charge for the tour, donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, (775) 246-8765 or (775) 246-9396
