New spooky fun! Fright at the Museum at Ohio History Center

Due to the closure of Ohio Village during the revitalization they aren’t hosting All Hallows’ Eve at Ohio Village in 2024. Things will still get spooky this Halloween season with Fright at the Museum at Ohio History Center.

Fright at the Museum at Ohio History

Enjoy a new Halloween experience as the Ohio History Connection celebrates the spooky season with Fright at the Museum on Saturday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 26, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Ohio History Center.

Guests will discover the spooky side of Ohio history as they learn about Ohio’s creatures of the night, try their hands at early movie magic and step back in time with a midcentury Monster Mash at the 1950s-era Lustron Home inside the museum.

Before dancing the night away on the Red Carpet Area, visitors will explore the origins of American Halloween celebrations through time, weave a web of spooky stories with time travelling tales and create hands-on activities and crafts.
