Historic St. Mary’s City will host its popular free trick-or-treating event, Lost City on October 19, 2024. Spreading out over the museum grounds, the event will be spooktacular! Families are invited to meet “lost” sailors, go trick-or-treating, play games, or enjoy stories. Maryland Dove will be open and dressed for the occasion as a haunted ship!

Families are invited to walk the grounds after hours to see the museum decorated with period-appropriate fall décor and more present-day “Halloween” items. The evening includes stepping aboard the “haunted ship” Maryland Dove, dancing to music with the “Monster Mash Disco Ball” at the Margaret Brent gazebo, fortune telling and broomstick lessons in the Town Center area, Halloween-themed crafts, and family-friendly fall games, giving guests a full evening of enjoyment and…candy!
