Please join the Irondequoit Historical Society & the Irondequoit Public Library on Thursday, October 3rd, as we welcome Christopher Bensch from the Strong Museum of Play. He is the Vice-President of Collections at the Strong Museum, and oversees the more than 520,000 objects that are housed there.During this presentation we will travel back to Halloween's pre-Christian roots and religious rituals, before connecting the holiday to practices of the more recent past and present. Come explore the original background of Halloween bonfires, the changing tastes in Halloween mischief, and the heritage of trick-or-treating through the centuries.
This event will be held at 7:00 PM in a first-floor meeting room of the Irondequoit Public Library, 1290 Titus Ave, 14617. The program is free and open to the public. Note: Refreshments will be served.
