Are You the Petrified Pioneer Brave Enough for Kentucky’s Haunted Frontier?

We're closing in on Halloween, and time's a' wastin'. Fortunately, we have two more full weekends before the big day, and the big day itself is on a Friday. Still, there are so many places to visit, so you'll have to be judicious in your choices.

First, let me tip my hat to all those teams across the country that work their butts off to put together very creative and terrifying haunted attractions. It takes a crafty mind to look at an empty, beat-up old building and say, "This is perfect. They'll never forget their visit."

I do enjoy a good haunted house, but I've discovered something that's a little off the beaten path, figuratively speaking.

Haunted Frontier

Best of all, the "Haunted Frontier" is located in the oldest city in Kentucky. Having been established in 1774, Harrodsburg has had plenty of time to "curate" ghostly presences. It's not a house, it's a trail, and you are in for a scary treat. (And maybe even a trick or two.)

Here's a little background on Harrodsburg's history...

From the moment the sun sets until 10 PM, beginning October 24th, guests will walk the terrifying trail featuring hundreds of years' worth of spirits that are ready to give you the Halloween fright of your life.

I love it. Take a little Halloween, mix in a little Kentucky history, and throw it all together on a creepy trail. Listen, this sounds like a blast, but Harrodsburg and Old Fort Harrod State Park are good ideas any time of the year.
