Springfield, OR – This October, the Springfield History Museum is gearing up to host its third annual Fright! At the Museum, a haunted house fundraiser that promises a spook-tacular journey through local history. The museum will be transformed into a haunted space on October 17, 18, 19 and October 24, 25, 26, offering thrills for visitors of all ages.
From 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. each evening, the museum will offer a family-friendly experience with fewer scares and more lights—perfect for younger children. But as the clock strikes 6:30 p.m., the lights will dim, and the real thrills will begin. Designed for older children and adults, this later session will bring the museum’s eerie transformation to life. Visitors who make it through the frightful fun will be rewarded at the “recovery station” with photo opportunities and free snacks.
Admission prices are set at $5 for adults, $3 for kids aged 5-17, and free for children under 5. Families with five or more members can take advantage of a discounted rate of $20. All proceeds from the event will directly support the Springfield History Museum’s collections, programs, and exhibits.
The Springfield History Museum, located at 590 Main Street, Springfield, Oregon, will once again serve as the perfect historic backdrop for this electrifying event. Housed in the historic Oregon Power Company substation, the museum provides a unique atmosphere for guests to immerse themselves in Springfield’s haunted history.
