SPRINGFIELD – Gather at the old Hertzler House on the dark and windy hill at George Rogers Clark Park for a historical haunted event.

Attendees will start with a walk through the haunted Hertzler House and then take a hayride through the park with haunted spirits seen along the darkened path. The hayride will end at the barn where refreshments will be available near a bonfire for attendees to warm their bones.

This family-friendly affair costs $10 a person, but youngsters under age six are free; funds go to support the Clark County Park District and upkeep of the historical 1850s home. The Clark County Park District suggests dressing warmly for the hayride and the October weather. Event begins 7-11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17 at George Rogers Clark Park, 930 S. Tecumseh Road. Last tour takes place 10:30 p.m. Call the Clark County Park District at 937-882-6000 for more details.
