SPOOKY SIDE

Embrace autumn with LaGrange’s very own ghost tour!

Southern spirit guide Lewis Powell takes guests on a journey making stops at LaGrange Art Museum, City Hall, Taste of Lemon and more!

ADMIRE FALL FOLIAGE

Hills & Dales Estate is a century-old home designed to flow gracefully into its gardens—a series of dwarf boxwood parterres planted by Sarah Ferrell that have adorned the terraces of the hill for more than 175 years. From vibrant leaves and beautiful blooms, fall welcomes colorful new changes to the historic property. During October and November, the beautifully-manicured gardens feature sasanqua, tea olive, pansies, camellias and more!

EXPLORE DOWNTOWN LAGRANGE

The cooler temps make October and November a prime time to explore downtown LaGrange. From antique stores to boutiques and specialty shops, our local offerings boast excellent selections worth an afternoon browse. Check out The Crafty Jaybird, one of our favorite shops showcasing seasonal goodies all year round! When you’re ready to refuel, Cafe Brûlée is perfect for a pumpkin spiced pick-me-up.

HOWL-O-WEEN ADVENTURES

Kick off Halloween with the family at Great Wolf Lodge! For all of October, you can explore the resort and water park with your own special set of Howl-o-Ween Wolf Ears, and of course, candy galore.
