For many of us, the countdown to Halloween begins the moment the clock strikes midnight on September 1, and now…it’s here. As we savor every sinister moment of the spooky season, we’ve got a lot of planning to do. After all, we have festivals to visit, pumpkins to carve, and haunted houses to explore. Make sure you also plan a visit to what’s been called the absolute best Halloween town in Pennsylvania before the clock strikes midnight.
Savor every moment of the season - whether you prefer the rustic adventures of fall or the spookiest events of Halloween - when you visit the always-enchanting town of New Hope.
Brimming with both real and imagined haunted spots, New Hope is a natural destination during the spooky season. You'll find plenty to do on a day trip or a weekend getaway.
Climb aboard a delightfully terrifying train ride with New Hope Railroad. You never know what will happen next on this journey that promises plenty of thrills and chills. It's held on select evenings in October.
For more paranormal fun, head over to Van Sant Covered Bridge, more commonly known as Crybaby Bridge. Listen for the sounds of an infant crying. It's said to be the baby who perished when her mom threw her into the water below - before the anguished mom threw herself off of the bridge.
If you love a really good haunted attraction, make the short trip to nearby Sleepy Hollow Haunted Acres. Go on a haunted hayride; meander through a haunted house, and journey through a terrifying field.
If you're really brave, request Room Six, said to be haunted by Emily, the mother of the previous inn's owner. Don't be surprised if she shows up during your stay, though.
Do you agree that New Hope is the best Halloween town in Pennsylvania? If not, which Pennsylvania town do you think deserves the title? Let us know in the comments! For more autumn fun, climb aboard a train ride that will take you to some of the best fall foliage in Pennsylvania.
