(POWHATAN, Ark.) – Ghostwalks, scheduled for October 17, 2020, at Powhatan Historic State Park, has been canceled. Due to the ongoing pandemic, Arkansas State Parks canceled all public programming through at least October 31.
Park Interpreter Geoffrey Havens noted, “The event typically sees between 400 and 800 attendees each year who crowd into small historic structures to hear our storytellers spin spooky folk tales from Powhatan’s history. While we hate canceling the event, we have to put the safety of our guests first.â€
Next year’s Ghostwalks is scheduled for October 10, 2021.
