The second annual Trickin’ and Treatin’ Halloween event at the Freeborn County Historical Museum from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 27.

In the village will be trick or treating. Costumes are welcome as long as they are kid friendly and non-violent.

Inside the museum there will be having a Creepy Doll Scavenger Hunt. The museum’s doll collection is extensive thanks to the Story Lady Doll and Toy Museum. When the Story Lady closed its doors, the collection was gifted to the museum. Staff will be dimming the lights and sending people through the museum to view some of the creepiest dolls in the collection. Explore the museum by flashlight and see if you can find all of the creepy dolls hidden throughout the museum.
