Now through October 31: Thursday–Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Celebrate the season at the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm and discover the history, traditions, stories, and spooky surprises behind Halloween!

THE DAILY “BOO!” EXPERIENCE

Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm had a Halloween makeover! Step inside the Museum Center and take a nostalgic look at the history of Halloween in America. Explore late 19th- and early 20th-century traditions that helped to shape the holiday we know today, including the transformation from a night of mayhem into a more family-friendly celebration. Discover the stories behind familiar Halloween symbols, including the popularization of the black cat.

And there’s more to explore throughout the museum:

+ Learn how herbal traditions influenced the development of modern medicine.

+ Discover some of New Hampshire’s more frightening tourism destinations.

+ Delve into the literary and cinematic history of Halloween horror.

+ Upstairs, Doc and Marion Remick’s apartment offers a nostalgic look at Halloween decoration styles and entertainment popular in the mid-20th century.

+ Purchase Halloween merchandise in the Museum Store.

Outside:

+ Make your way along the Pumpkin Path on the Binsack Trail to see a collection of jack-o-lantern-wrapped hay bales. Along the way, read The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt, written by Riel Nason and illustrated by Byron Eggenschwiler, our October StoryWalk.

+ If you’re feline lucky, see if you can find all of the cats lurking about in our (un)Lucky #13 Black Cat Scavenger Hunt.
