Historic Haunted House Competition

Use your creativity to create a spooky, haunted, and creepy looking house/building to make a Historic Haunted Village at the Museum!

All you have to do is call the museum at 715-232-8685 or stop by and let us know you want to participate! You can build your own from scratch, or we have a limited number of “blank” houses for you to use as a base.

Entry into the Historic Haunted village is $5

Paper Mache houses are available for $10 each (this includes your entry fee). There is a limited supply of these houses, and you can pick them up at the museum.

We ask that you also write a short story about your house/building - tell us its Haunted History! This will be on display next to your house. Please remember that the stories can be spooky or scary, but must be appropriate for all museum visitors to read.

We ask that the bases for your haunted house do not exceed 12” by 12”. This can be the base of the house itself, or a smaller house on a 12x12 base.

Houses must be finished and dropped off at the Museum by Oct 15. Your house and story will be on display at the museum through Halloween!

Visitors will vote on their favorite haunted house and story when they visit! (multiple categories)
