Not Too Haunting Canal Walking Tour

A Not-Too-Haunting Canal Walking Tour + Canal-O-Ween

pumpkin with Old Library carving

Hear tales of mischief and see the jack-o-lanterns.

Wednesday, October 29 • 3:30 p.m.
Meet at the intersection of Morgan and Fuld Avenues, Yardley

Stories of a maiden in distress, snapping turtles, watermelon napping, an Underground Railroad connection, a flood escape route, and how Yardley grew when the Delaware Canal was opened through town in 1831 will be told by Susan Taylor on a one-mile stroll down the Delaware Canal towpath and North and South Edgewater Avenues. 

A Halloween treat will be a view of Canal-O-Ween, Yardley’s now famous lineup of hundreds of carved pumpkins. This end-of-day view highlights the details of all the creativity.  Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for all at the end of the walk.

A $10 per person donation is requested. Reservations are required.  To make yours, please e-mail nfo@yardleyhistory.org.  or call 215-208-1154.

Boo!
