Venture into “Dark Dover” October 20 and 27 with the First State Heritage Park This October, one of First State Heritage Park’s most popular events returns to The Green. During the park’s “Dark Dover” program, visitors will witness firsthand the chilling true stories of gruesome murders and whippings, and encounter characters whose legends have left their sinister imprint on The Green in Dover. 18th-century judge Samuel Chew and the murdered servant Cooch Turner are just two of the specters who will make their appearance on this most unusual tour through the Dover Green. Unusual twists include an unexpected retelling of the Poison Candy Murder tale from the point of view of the victim’s deceitful and philandering husband, who attempts to clear his name. The mid-20th-century “Lonely Hearts” murder case adds a grisly but humorous touch to the tour. To find out what lurks in the shadows, join the First State Heritage Park by moonlight on Fridays, October 20 and October 27. The hour long program is offered at 7:00 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10 per person. Pre-registration is required and spaces are limited. Call 302-739-9194 to reserve your spot. Tours will meet at the John Bell House on The Green in Dover. For more information, please contact the First State Heritage Park at 302-739-9194 or visit www.destateparks.com/heritagepark

Free flu shots are available to any individual ages 9 and older. American Sign Language interpreters and staff speaking Spanish and Haitian Creole will be on site. Attendees should wear short sleeves or loose fitting clothing for nursing staff to more easily access the upper arm. People who are ill on the clinic day, especially if you are running a fever, should not participate in this flu clinic. The event will be held rain, or shine.
