The event runs from 1-4 p.m., during which time residents are encouraged to bring their families and come disguised in their favourite Halloween costumes for an entertaining afternoon at the museum. "Come discover how Halloween was celebrated in the past," said Bill Nesbitt, museum supervisor. "Watch an old-time magic lantern show, search the mansion for masquerade masks amongst our display of historical costumes, and make your own mask and vintage Halloween ornament," said Nesbitt. The well-known story of Cinderella will be told using a magic lantern and hand-painted glass slides that project images onto a screen. Both the lantern and intricate glass slides belonged to a family who resided in Oakville approximately 100 years ago. Oakville Museum is located in the Erchless Estate, the former home of Oakville's founding family the Chisholms. It is located at 8 Navy St. The masquerade party, an annual event at the museum, costs $5 per person to attend and includes light refreshments.
