Night of Terror at the Booseum
At the Stettler Museum, a 1908 Stettler School / Courthouse transforms into terror in October. A group of volunteers, choose a theme, decorate (change) the building into a fun-filled event ‘Night of Terror’! Yes, there is screaming plus more, and that is not from the volunteers. This dedicated group can put in 1000s of hours to create a change in the building so complete, that regular staff do not recognize the building. No waiting outside in the cold, stay in your vehicle until it’s your turn system in effect.
Tell us what theme will scare you in 2024
December – LIGHT THE NIGHT at the MUSEUM
NEW – North Pole Elevator Express (dates as listed)
December 23 – Horse wagon rides, Fire barrels, and more (tbd)
