  Satisfy
your appetite for Halloween-season horror this year with a spooky tour of an
authentic site that’s seen more than its share of colonial privations.  On
Friday, October 25th the Stamford Historical Society is opening the Hoyt Barnum House, built
in 1699,  to thrill-seekers ages 12 and up. Interpreters
will share stories of the horrific lives of Stamford founders in the 17th
and 18th centuries.
    Hear
what horrors haunted people daily.  Find
out which diseases caused the greatest disfigurement of its
survivors.  Learn about the practice of witchcraft in Stamford.
    Tickets
are $10 a person; $8 for members.  If you
join the Historical Society that night, your entrance to the Hoyt Barnum House
will be free.  Tours are at 7, 7:45 and 8:30 pm.  Space is limited.  For reservations call 203-329-1183.
