Scarecrow Stroll
October 12-27, 2024
Back by popular demand! Join us for the Fourth Annual Scarecrow Stroll which brings to the museum dozens of creations by local businesses, community organizations, families, crafters, youth groups, and more. Enjoy the creativity of our community as you experience handcrafted scarecrow displays scattered throughout the museum grounds! Visitors will delight in discovering and being able to vote for their own personal favorites.
The Scarecrow Stroll is included in the regular museum admission pricing. During your stroll, pick and vote for your favorite.
