Last year South Haven’s popular Michigan Maritime Museum was converted into a Haunted Asylum to celebrate their annual Haunted Museum event. Once again focusing on a distinctly scary storyline, the museum along the waterline of the South Haven harbor resorts to the fear of Fallout.
Now in its third year, the Michigan Maritime Museum hosts their Haunted Museum event as a part of South Haven’s Haven Harvest weekend. Each year, the Haunted Museum is themed and has a new scary storyline to tell and follow.
This year’s backstory follows the years after WWII when the United States Government funneled millions of dollars into Project Castle, a military research and development study of new technologies such as chemical and nuclear warfare. Top secret test sites were set up all over the United States for various experimental projects including those on human subjects. While many of these projects pushed the U.S. into the forefront of military dominance, others proved disastrous. Radioactive exposure, mutations, and adverse reactions to chemical testing are only a few of the failures the US Government attempted to contain. Despite their efforts, no one was prepared for the fallout.
Based on that scary scenario, the Michigan Maritime Museum will host the event Fallout! The show is scheduled to take place from 8pm-until-11pm, with your last chance to enter each night at the 11th hour on both Friday and Saturday nights, October 20th and 21st.
Admission is $8 in advance or $10 at the door. Advanced tickets will be available online here in early October. The event is not suitable for young children, and all minors who do attend must be accompanied by an adult.

Because the kids are left out on this one, the Michigan Maritime Museum wants to remind you that they will have time set aside for the younger set with their annual Halloween celebration on Tuesday, October 31st, featuring free Trick-or-Treating at a family event running from 4 pm to 6 pm. Kids can pick up a Museum campus map and collect candy at 6 different stations around the Museum campus. That event is for kids ages toddler to 10 years old, however, children must be in costume and be accompanied by an adult.
For the 2nd Halloween in a row, the Michigan Maritime Museum is supporting FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project to create a safer, happier Halloween by offering non-food treats for trick-or-treaters.
The Teal Pumpkin Project raises awareness of food allergies and promotes a safer, happier Halloween by encouraging households to make non-food treats available so that trick-or-treaters who need to avoid candy – due to food allergies or other reasons – can fully participate. A teal pumpkin & sign will be placed outside the Museum to show that they are participating.
Parents are asked to simply state that their trick-or-treater requires a non-food treat at each trick-or-treating station around the Museum and they’ll receive a fun prize instead of candy.
