We'll be participating in @downtownblacksburg Trick or Treating again this year. If you park at the library, you can follow these signs down the Bicentennial Trail to The Alexander Black House and continue on to downtown activities at the Draper Road tents, @@thelyrictheatre costume contest, and the multiple downtown businesses that do trick or treating.

Yes! So happy to be a part of this end of downtown with @the.coffee.cauldron and @jhbardsspiritco

Our Haunted History Tours are available every night up to and including Halloween. Book at https://blacksburgmuseum.org/event/haunted-history-tour/.

On Halloween, we will keep the Alexander Black House open for @downtownblacksburg Trick or Treating and stay open until 9:30pm. Come in before or after your tour for hot cider and treats, pop across the street to JH Bards Spirit Co. for a cocktail and dinner delivered from Not Your Mama’s Pasta, head to The Coffee Cauldron at 6:00 for a pumpkin carving and 6:30 for a costume contest, then end up with us at @thelyrictheatre for a 10:00pm screening of the original “Halloween.” Plenty to do with no driving necessary!
