Come enjoy a kid-friendly day in the gardens and find more than 30 decorated pumpkins and whimsical photo ops hidden among the flowers and trees on a Locust Grove scavenger hunt/story walk on the grounds of the historic mansion. Tour at your own pace, stay all day or just as long as you’d like. Costumes encouraged! Bring a picnic to enjoy under the trees.

This entertaining family program features decorated pumpkins telling the story of Locust Grove, including the people and animals who lived and worked at the historic estate since its first famous occupant lived here, Samuel A. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph.

“Drive” a 1913 “Cadillac,” ring the bell on an historic “train,” sit on “Doodles” the sawhorse pony and more.

Gravel paths, restrooms, and Visitor's Center are wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Adults need to purchase tickets as well.
