The Creative Minds of Drachenmoor
For over 20 years, our family has produced and created a free Halloween All Ages Haunted Trail right here in Joplin - a tradition that grew from a few funny epitaphs on homemade tombstones in our yard to a full community experience that thousands of families enjoy every year. We do it because we love Halloween, and we love seeing families come together for something fun, spooky, and safe.
