WHEATON, IL — Train demonstrations, pumpkin painting and a make-your-own bat project are some of the activities planned when DuPage Historical Museum hosts its annual "Night at the Museum." The Halloween-themed party, which aptly includes a viewing of "A Night at the Museum," is set for Oct. 18.

Other activities include a flashlight scavenger hunt, along with coloring and scratch mask-making crafts. Each child who attends will receive a bag full of candy and other goodies.

"Night at the Museum is a great event to introduce children and their families to DuPage County history while enjoying a Halloween-themed party," Kaitlin Lizik, Wheaton Park District Annual Giving and Events Manager, told Patch.
