The Illinois Trail of Terror is a string of events and activities mostly taking place prior to Halloween that are all fall-themed and located in the northwest region of the state.
On any given weekend during September and October, there are a myriad of pumpkin patches, corn mazes, apple orchards, festivals, and markets to attend in this part of the state.
With the scary season coming to a close, there is just one weekend left to enjoy these Halloween activities. Other than the night of Halloween, most of the rest of the events are taking place October 26-27, 2019.
The events include tours of the little-known Havencrest Castle, which is only open at exclusive times of the year. Built as a home, this romantic and historic house is filled with artwork that is rarely seen.
On Halloween itself, White Pines Resort will host a spooky event featuring ghost tours that are perfect for anyone looking for a fright. It is certainly the ideal end to this terrifying trail of events.
