In its first year, our Historic Halloween Howl was a howling success! 

  Everyone loves a Halloween party, but since we’re all about history, we made it a historic Halloween party.

 

 Held at the former Berger Hardware building in the historic North End of Superior, the hardware store-turned-bar was the perfect setting to celebrate historic people. 

Real or fictitious, patrons attended dressed up as people in history.
