i visited last year (2023) in october just for a day! i absolutely loved visiting. we also took a haunted walking tour throughout the town at night which was so much fun! make sure to wear comfortable shoes if visiting, some of my family had to tap out of the day because of their feet hurting. october was truly a magical / spooky time to visit!
