Fifth Annual Fright! at the Museum Returns to Springfield

The Springfield History Museum will transform into a spooktacular journey through local history for the fifth annual Fright at the Museum fundraiser, October 22-24 and 29-31.

Each evening will offer two experiences for different scare levels. From 4:00 to 6:00pm, the museum will offer a family-friendly experience with more lights and fewer scares. From 6:30 to 8:30pm, the lights will go down and the scares will increase for older children and adults.

Visitors who make it through the haunted museum can stop by the recovery station for photo opportunities and free snacks.

Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 5-17, and free for children under 5. Families of five or more can attend for $20. All proceeds directly support the Springfield History Museum’s collections, programs, and exhibits.

Fright at the Museum takes place at the Springfield History Museum, 590 Main St., inside the historic Oregon Power Company substation. For more information, visit the event webpage or call 541-726-2300.
