Heritage Museum to host ghost tours

BROOKSVILLE Hernando Heritage Museum will conduct its annual Halloween Fest featuring its certified "haunted" house from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30-31, at the Victorian house located at 601 Museum Court, off East Jefferson Street. The three-story house is decorated with a new scary twist in each room, and a palm reader will be present outside the house for fortune-telling entertainment. A food booth providing hot dogs, snacks, drinks and baked goods will be available. The haunted house is strongly recommended for ages 8 and older only, but there will be a campfire with marshmallow roasting and stories for the younger attendees. The donation is $5 per person; and proceeds of the event will go toward the upkeep and repairs of the house, as it is the oldest restored house in Brooksville.
