The Haunted House at the 12th Armored Division Memorial Museum is one of Abilene’s most unusual Halloween haunts in Abilene, TX — a multi-floor fright fest built inside a WWII military history museum in downtown Abilene. Volunteers transform the exhibit halls each October into a maze of scares while a carnival-style outdoor area gives guests who don’t want the full experience something to do. Proceeds support museum operations.
