Screamfield General Hospital opens Thursday at the history museum

Springfield History Museum becomes Screamfield General Hospital on October 22–24 and 29–31. Its gentler session runs 4–6 p.m.; the darker, louder version runs 6:30–8:30 p.m.

The organizer says visitors queue outside, so bring rain protection. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for ages 5–17; children under 5 enter free. Tickets are sold at the door. Proceeds support the museum, and a reading tent gives waiting families Halloween picture books to listen to.
