COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - During the most haunting time of the fall season, The Farmers' Museum invites visitors to experience "Things That Go Bump In The Night." Join museum interpreters as they lead you about the shadowy grounds and recount the many mysteries and ghostly happenings that have occurred within the buildings making up the Museum's historic village. These tours will be held on three nights only: Saturday, October 22; Friday, October 28; and Saturday, October 29, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Museum guides will walk visitors through the darkened 19th-century village by lantern, stopping at various buildings throughout, including the Blacksmith's Shop and Bump Tavern, weaving ghostly tales adapted from the Louis C. Jones' classic, Things That Go Bump In the Night, a timeless record of haunted history and restlessspirits in New York State. Participants will hear stories associated with the museum's buildings as in the tale of a young ghost sighted by staff and guests in Bump Tavern and the mysterious early morning strikes on the blacksmith's anvil.

These hour-long tourswill be held every half-hour between 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Reservations are required. Admission is $10 per person (ages 3 and up), please call (607) 547-1452.
