Litchfield Historical Society Hosting Master Storyteller and Lantern Tours
The Litchfield Historical Society has a busy slate of programs this October. In addition to the popular Scarecrows in the Meadow display that opens October 19th, we are holding three nights of Stories to Keep You Up at Night Lantern Tours, the return of Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk to the Tapping Reeve Meadow, and a Scarecrow Making Workshop with artist Mimi Kefauver-Moore.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Jonathan Kruk
We all know of Washington Irving’s classic tale of the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane, but you don’t know the whole story until you have experience Jonathan Kruk’s retelling. Celebrated Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk is renowned for his dramatic solo shows “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “A Christmas Carol.” He has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, The TODAY Show, Good Morning America, The Travel Channel, and The National Geographic Channel. According to the New York Times, “His spirited, candlelit one-man show has become a fixture of Halloween.”
