Halloween 2006 and the Munster Mansion

There is a family (McKee) in Waxahachie, TX (a few miles south and east of us) that built a replica of the Munster's home - and they live in it year 'round! Mary and I visited on October 28, 2006. Every year they host a charitable event so the cost of visiting goes to charity. A few of the actors from the series have appeared as guests to these events. For more information about the mansion, here is their web site: http://www.munstermansion.com


Our pics at the Mansion:





We rode a school bus from a school (Middle school? Jr. High?) on Brown Street in Waxahachie (across the street from the Waxahachie LDS chapel) to the Mansion. They prefer to provide transportation since the mansion is located on a dangerous curve in the road. Their address just happens to be 1313 Mockingbird Lane! Anyway, others got to ride in a limo to the mansion. We were lucky enough to get a ride in the limo back to the school after our vist ended. This limo also brought Pat Priest (who played Marilyn on the TV series).



Here we are with Pat Priest. She was very, very personable, friendly and down-to-earth! We enjoyed meeting her.
