Halloween Historic Fun
This year, for the first time, four sites around the Yarmouthport Common on Route 6A will be open for safe trick or treating, from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 31.
The Edward Gorey House, the Captain Bangs Hallet House, the Yarmouth New Church and the Compass Rose Inn will welcome Halloween lovers of all ages for treats and surprises.
Parking will be available at the Compass Rose Inn, 277 Main St., at the Yarmouthport Post Office, and at limited spots at the Gorey House.
But ... we need volunteers to help make this a fun and safe event. Can you volunteer an hour or two to hand out treats, or help guide visitors to designated safe routes between sites? All you need is a good flashlight and some Halloween spirit (so to speak...). Costumes, of course, are encouraged!
This is a great and fun opportunity to share a bit of Yarmouth's history with everyone! If you can help, please email Mary-Ann Agresti at
safetreats@YarmouthPortcommon.org
And even if you can't volunteer, we hope you'll stop by to see these historic properties as you've never seen them before!
