Not Too Haunting Canal Walking Tour

Canal Nightmares Walking Tour + Canal-O-Ween

mary yardley footbridge 1955 flood

Hear how things have gone awry along the Canal and see the jack-o-lanterns.

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

Tales of flood escapes and failures,  a maiden stuck inthe mud, a golf ball inundation, watermelon napping, a supposed Underground Railroad tunnel under the Canal, and more will be told by Susan Taylor on a one-mile stroll down the Delaware Canal towpath and North Edgewater Avenue. 

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!
