Saturday, October 29, from 5 to 8 p.m., get into the perfect mood — and surroundings — for a Halloween celebration. Dress the children, bring a flashlight, play heritage Halloween games, brave the graveyard (if you dare enter the Forest of No Return), get your fortune told, enjoy the bonfire — and solve a murder mystery. How could you avert Susan Dinsmore’s tragic demise?

All this in a setting sure to have you thinking “time travel” — as in back to life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Enjoy some snacks and take tours of the historic home.

Admission for adults over 17 is $7; children and teens over 4, $3.

For more information call 859-568-6117 or email ccollopy@dinsmorefarm.org.

Five generations of Dinsmores lived in the historic house. James Dinsmore settled there, on 700 acres, in 1839. The house was built in 1842.

In 1987, Dinsmore House Foundation purchased the home and 30 acres.
