Spooky Walk: Downtown to Hinchman House

Celebrate Halloween the Maria Mitchell way—through science, nature, and a touch of spooky fun! After your downtown trick-or-treating adventure, meet a MMA Naturalist at the Land Bank Pocket Park at the corner of Fair and Main Streets, for a twilight walk from downtown Nantucket to the historic Hinchman House Natural Science Museum.

Along the way, we’ll explore the eerie side of Nantucket’s natural world—discovering animal adaptations that might just give you goosebumps, uncovering ghostly island lore, and completing a Halloween-themed nature scavenger hunt. You’ll even collect materials to create your own vampire bat leaf craft back at the museum!

Costumes welcome. Flashlights encouraged!
