For the Locals: Free Weekend Happenings

Tennessee State Museum's "Haunted Museum"

This is a lot of fun. My kids enjoyed this immensely in the past. They even have a real mummy to examine. Make sure they wear their costumes.

The State Museum’s annual ghost story festival, Haunted Museum, is back for its ninth year and promises to be more entertaining than ever! The family oriented event takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 24.

Haunted Museum, which is free to the public, will feature a “ghost trail” through the museum with prizes, crafts, and refreshments. At stops along the ghost trail there will be chilling ghost stories from Tennessee’s past, including those of the Bell Witch and the Cherokee spirit, Spearfinger. The trail concludes at the tall tales stage where professional storytellers will relate stories about Tennessee.

Children who complete each ghost trail stop will receive prizes. Those attending the Haunted Museum event are invited to wear costumes and enjoy complimentary refreshments.

Located at Fifth and Deaderick Streets in downtown Nashville, the museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday and is free to the public. On Saturdays, parking is free at state employee parking lots to the west of the State Capitol.

Flea Market


Thanks to Tara's Favorites for this reminder. The State Fairgrounds will have their monthly flea market this weekend and it is expected to be one of the biggest all year. Check out her site for times and a link for more information. It is free.
