As long-time “Friends of Harley Clarke,” we were so heartened to see so many people getting a glimpse inside the mansion and enjoying the grounds!

We loved seeing Harley Clarke lean way into Halloween with an elaborately decorated spooky mansion, and we were blown away to hear 4,000-5,000 people visited the Harley Clarke Mansion over the last two days…and still going at the time of writing.

Exciting that the mansion’s Halloween festivities drew TV coverage from ABC, NBC, and Fox News Chicago as well as the Chicago Tribune and more!

There’s still time to check it out tonight (Saturday!) Trick-or-treating until 8 pm, live music, and the b**r garden open until 10 pm.

Come join the fun!

Here is a piece from NBC Chicago, which covered the festivities and were reporting in live remotes onsite from 4-10 p.m.!

At least there’s Halloween to celebrate here in Chicago this weekend. And what better place to get into the spooky spirit than the historic Harley Clarke Mansion in Evanston? Michelle Baik reports.
