The Museum of the American Revolution celebrates Halloween both in-person as well as virtually over the weekend. Activities include turnip-carving demonstrations held at the Museum from 1 pm- 3 pm and Revolutionary stencils for jack-o-lantern carving at home. Be sure to wear a costume for $2 off admission.

Museum educator share how early Americans in the Revolutionary era carved turnips — not pumpkins — to ward away evil spirits.

Families can also explore Revolution Place, a discovery center geared towards families which highlights the diverse Old City neighborhood during the 1700s and invites visitors to learn through hands-on exploration.
