Edythe Motter recently wrote as a google review, “Dent Schoolhouse never disappoints!  We have been going at least once a season for the past 5 years or so. This year we visited on Sept 30th for their haunters night as we are fellow haunt actors. Lots of changes at Dent this year and all of them are awesome. Their actors, costumes and makeup are always top notch and their scenes are great, very detailed. We are usually busy during this time of year but ALWAYS make it a point to make the trip down to Dent Schoolhouse. Well worth the money and always an amazing time!!”
