17th Annual Pumpkin Walk

For 17 years, this event has brought generations of families together—including visitors and volunteers who first participated when they were kids and now return to share the tradition with a new generation. Each year, the Pumpkin Walk transforms the museum grounds into a festive fall experience featuring historical displays, themed exhibits, educational demonstrations, hands-on activities, entertainment, and plenty of pumpkins. Whether this is your first Pumpkin Walk or a tradition your family looks forward to every year, we invite you to come make some memories with us. The Pumpkin Walk is designed to provide a safe, accessible, family-friendly cultural experience where visitors of all ages can have fun, discover local history, and connect with their community. Explore seasonal and historical displays. Enjoy hands-on family activities. Discover local history through demonstrations and exhibits. Enjoy entertainment throughout the event. Celebrate the Halloween season in a fun, family-friendly setting. The Pumpkin Walk is made possible through the support of our community, volunteers, local partners, and Zoo, Arts & Parks (ZAP) funding, which helps us provide educational programming and accessible cultural experiences for the public. Mark your calendar for October 17, invite your friends and family, and come celebrate 17 years of Pumpkin Walk memories with us!
