Dark Side of Marlboro Historical Walking Tour
The Marlboro Free Library will offer its Dark Side of Marlboro Historical Walking Tour at 4 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11, and Monday, Oct. 19.

Drownings, murders and a spiritualist con man on the run? It didn’t happen in Marlboro — or did it?

Join the library for a spooky walking tour through the village of Marlboro. Guides will lead participants to various historical sites and share long-forgotten tales unearthed in the local history collection.

In-person registration is required, and spaces are limited. Tickets are $10 each and are available at the circulation desk. Visit marlborolibrary.org for guidelines and additional information.

Participants should arrive 15 minutes early to check in and enjoy cider and snacks before the tour.

Due to the content, the tour is for ages 18 and older. Those 12 and older are permitted if supervised by an adult. The tour is approximately 1.5 miles.

Weekly Recipe
Slow Cooker Potato Soup
Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced.
1 onion, diced.

3 cloves garlic, minced.
4 cups of chicken broth
1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper
8 oz cream cheese, cubed.
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ cup heavy cream (optional, makes it richer)
Toss the potatoes, onion, garlic, broth, salt, and pepper in the crock pot. Cook on low 6 hours or high 3–4, until the potatoes are falling apart.
Stir in the cream cheese until it melts, then mash some of the potatoes right in the pot with a potato masher for thickness — leave it chunky or go smooth, your call. Stir in the cheddar and cream, let it sit for 10 minutes.
Top with bacon bits, extra cheese, or green onions if you’ve got them.
