Torchlight Halloween Hike, Storytelling, and Wiener Roast at Lincoln Log Cabin
A Torchlight Halloween Hike, Storytelling, and Wiener Roast will take place at the Lincoln Log Cabin Grounds on Saturday, October 24. This free event will be from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m., and is a fun-for-all-ages stroll as paths between historic farms are lit by torchlight.
Music fills the air, torches flicker, and hearth fires glow as the paths between our historic farms come alive after dark! Join us for a fun-for-all-ages stroll featuring music, storytelling, bonfires, and a wiener roast near the Visitor Center. The Lincoln Log Cabin Foundation will be selling cider, hotdogs, and s’mores to roast over the fire, with proceeds benefiting Lincoln Log Cabin’s educational and interpretive programs.
The hike covers mixed terrain, so wear sturdy footwear and dress for the season.
A Note for Parents: Some stories in the Lincoln Cabin are “spooky,” but all are kid-friendly. The torchlit paths may feel a little spooky for children who are afraid of the dark. Along the way, you’ll encounter actors in historic clothing and “friendly ghost” makeup. They’ll be carrying lanterns and are not frightening—just part of the fun!
The Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, a gateway site for the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area, was the 1840s home of Abraham Lincoln’s father and stepmother, Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln. It is located at 402 South Lincoln Highway Road near Lerna
