Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, will host a candlelight open house on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 4 to 8 p.m.

Attendees will explore the illuminated grounds and historic buildings and encounter costumed interpreters, skilled craftspeople, and historic demonstrators who will bring Ephrata's past to life.

The self-guided event will feature performances by the Ephrata Cloister Chorus in the 1741 Saal at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. The performances are included with admission, and seating is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will also include a brief guided cemetery tour to learn more about Ephrata's historic burial grounds and a fireside telling of "The Ghost of Longmarsh Run ... The Three Wives of Christopher Beeler." Vendors Ginny Good and Emily Smucker-Beidler will display their handmade wares and take orders for them in the visitor center.
