    This the last year for the beloved McCabe Haunt as the homeowners are moving. A creepy cemetery, skeleton horses, lights and smoke... this display changes every year. * Please park on grass on either McCabe or on Conservation. DO NOT stop in the street as McCabe is a busy street. ** (There is a wide sidewalk along the display, but be mindful of young children, as this display is on a county road without street lights and drivers cannot see you.)Most lights will remain on throughout the night.
