“Shadows of the Shelf” promises spooks, surprises, and thrills

Tue, 10/07/2025 - 12:06pm

If you’re looking for a frightfully fun way to celebrate Halloween in Council Grove, mark your calendar for Shadows of the Shelf, a haunted walk-through that’s set to take over the upper floor, of the former Masonic Lodge, above The Dustie Shelf at 108 W. Main. The door creaks open at 6 p.m. on October 18, 25, and 31, offering three nights of chills and thrills you won’t want to miss.

The “Autumn Colors” mural has occupied a western wall of the Council Grove Post Office for 84 years.
