Halloween fun during the day!  Spooks and monsters have taken over Fort Knox and we need your help to find them all! The Fright at the Fort Scarefest can be pretty scary – the Scavenger Haunt is geared toward the younger monster hunters who search through historic Fort Knox’s dark passageways and creepy rooms to check off their list.  All monsters are static props and decorations used later that evening at the Fright at the Fort. Coming in costume is welcome!
