The Haunt 🥀🏚️🕸️🕯️
Historic Haunt comes to life in an 1895 Second Empire–style home in the Historic City Park District of Hagerstown, Maryland. As the second house built on its street, the home has witnessed more than a century of neighborhood history.
Over the past 130 years, three families have carefully preserved the property, each adding their own style and personality along the way.
Heather’s current vision brings together gothic charm, historic character, and whimsical creativity, providing the ideal setting for the spooky displays and seasonal storytelling that define Historic Haunt.
