It's officially October! Schedule a weekend at Haunted Hugh Moore Park to get into the seasonal spirit. Hay rides, ghost stories, and a ride on the canal boat make for the best and spookiest #HauntedHMP you could imagine! Reserve your tickets now.

OK, who is going to explain what a "Bear Trap Dam" on the Lehigh River was? And who can tell everyone where remnants of a bear trap dam are still visible?

Freemansburg field trips begin October 2. Here's a sneak peek at what the children will be doing.

HELP!! We need an art lesson instructor for our Freemansburg field trips. Oct.2-20. Help 4th-grade students learn how to draw a mule using simple shapes and shading. Please get in touch via Facebook or call 610-984-4753. This will be fun and Dennis Gerhart, the Tales artist, will train you. Spread the word please. This is a lesson the kids love every year.
