“What is doing downtown?” This is the daily question asked by Sam Benn, founding father of Aberdeen. Come join the 4M Klub to uncover the mystery, murder, Mannheim, and madames that lie beneath the sawdust.
A two hour tour of the city with a spectacular, panoramic view of the harbor from atop the Becker Building, its history
The mission is to unite our residence. Enjoy a “new” downtown with its history to connect our community with the “old fashioned” hometown atmosphere; showing off local artists, Sunday market(in season), Friends of the Museum, and programs for our younger generation, discussed during the tour. Tours start promptly at 1:00 PM. “Phil Talks” also available Sundays, starting at 1:00 PM in Game Day Sports Bar and Grill.

The event starts with a ride aboard the Simpson Railroad trailer car around the loop over to the event grounds. This year events are located in our operations area to provide more space. There we will have a hay bale/straw maze to navigate thru -hopefully it is not haunted with loggers past. Grab a cup of hot cider to sip while you listen to not too scary short stories read by Area youth and literary groups. Don’t forget just before you get back on the trailer car for the short ride back stop at the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin to take home. While at the activities grounds keep a sharp eye out for trick or treat candy.
Kids are encouraged to wear and show off their costumes.
