Haunted Night at the Museum

By | October 2, 2009 | Family Events | No comments

It’s exciting when history comes to life – or in this case the after-life!  The Lawrenceville Female Seminary, home to the Gwinnett History Museum, will host “ghosts” from Gwinnett County’s past at the second annual Haunted Night at the Museum on Fri. and Sat., Oct. 16 and 17, from 7 – 10 p.m.

Actors portraying characters from Gwinnett’s past will wander the building and grounds to share scary tales and stories from long ago, making this a unique spin on a favorite seasonal activity both fun and educational. There will be activities for all ages to enjoy including children’s crafts and face painting.

The Lawrenceville Female Seminary is located at 455 S. Perry St in Lawrenceville. Admission is $5 per person and pre-registration is strongly recommended. Call 770-822-5178 or visit www.gwinnettparks.com for more information or to pre-register.
