Before Harper was even born, I had read about the Old Salem Trick-or-Treating event that takes place every October in Winston Salem. Old Salem is a living history museum that showcases the culture of the Moravian settlements in North Carolina during the 18th and 19th centuries. Both Alex and I have gone there on school field trips when we were younger. The town has a community trick-or-treating event where volunteers hand out candy at each of the historic houses. Hundreds of carved pumpkins line the fences around the town. We had a great time celebrating Halloween in the historic, somewhat spooky town!
Old Salem was built in 1766. There is a Salem at Night tour full of scary ghost stories that we want to do next year.
As Harper says, "trick-or-treatie"!
We are the bad parents who did not remember to pick up a Halloween bag for Harper. We used her beach bucket instead.
Our little llama did not like this scary man.
We got there a little after the event started. Not long into it, the lines became very long! We only went to a few houses so that we could scoot around easily.
Happy Halloween!
