Ghost Train Craft & Storytime with the Waterford Township Historical Society
October 27 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
All aboard for a spirited evening of creativity, storytelling, and local history! As part of Camden County History Month, the Waterford Township Historical Society invites families to celebrate our region’s railroading past with a Halloween twist.
Children will design their own “ghost trains” using wooden train cars, acrylic markers, foam Halloween shapes, and other crafting materials, blending imagination with a nod to Waterford’s historic train station project. Then, gather for a lively reading of The Ghost Train by Allan Ahlberg, a playful tale that brings spooky rail adventures to life.
🎨 Craft Station: Build and decorate your own ghost train
📖 Storytime: Enjoy The Ghost Train by Allan Ahlberg
🏛️ History Connection: Learn about Waterford’s train station and its role in Camden County’s past
🎃 Halloween Vibes: Costumes welcome!
This event is part of WTHS’s ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate Waterford Township’s heritage. Come for the crafts, stay for the story, and leave with a deeper appreciation of the rails that once connected our community.
