Learn about the history of Halloween with museum curator and historian Mallory Howard.
Halloween, a favorite holiday for many across the globe, has an interesting and sometimes confusing evolution.
It has changed quite a bit, both historically and culturally over the years, becoming much more commercialized. Scary movies, candy, ghosts and goblins, have become associated with this spooky time of year for the young and old alike; but how did it start? How did it evolve into the holiday we know and recognize today?
We will look at the origins of Halloween, along with the variety of ways it has been celebrated over the years.
