Harvest Hunt

Find more than two dozen decorated pumpkins and whimsical photo ops hidden among the colorful autumn leaves and last blooms of summer on a Locust Grove scavenger hunt/story walk!

Tour at your own pace, stay all day or just as long as you’d like!

Costumes are encouraged! Bring a picnic and enjoy. The decorated pumpkins tell the story of Locust Grove; the people and animals who lived and worked at the historic estate since its first famous occupant lived here, Samuel F.B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph! “Drive” a 1913 “Cadillac,” ring the bell on a historic “train,” sit on “Doodles” the sawhorse pony, and more.

This is a rain-or-shine activity.
