Final "Spooky" Fun at the 
Hubbard House Flashlight Tours - October 31st & November 1st


This October and early November, embark on a spine-tingling journey through the Hubbard House armed with only with a flashlight to navigate shadowy corners and corridors whispering tales of the past.

This year’s tour features all-new macabre tales of cursed toys. Venture into rarely opened spaces—the attic, basement, and the Carriage House attic—as you uncover the darker side of 19th-century life. Tours take place on the third and fourth Saturday night in October and the first Saturday in November at 7, 8, and 9 p.m., with a special Halloween edition on Friday, October 31st, exploring the strange origins and folklore behind the holiday.

Tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance. Capacity is limited, so reserve early before they vanish. Purchase your tickets here

Give to the Max started in 2009 as a one-time campaign to mark the launch of GiveMN.org, Minnesota's digital home for generosity. The results of that day—$14 million raised in just 24 hours—blew everyone's expectations out of the water, and a new Minnesota tradition was born. In fact, Give to the Max was one of the nation's first online giving days and now serves as a national model for giving days across the country. In the years since, nearly one million donors have given more than $355 million to 14,000 nonprofits and schools as part of Minnesota's giving holiday.

Mark your calendars—Give to the Max Day returns for a 17th year on Thursday, November 20, 2025, with Early Giving beginning on November 1. Visit GiveMN.org during that time to follow along with totals, see prize winners, and have your generosity counted as part of this year's campaign.
