Most decorated house on Main Street

Share/Save/Bookmark


The Ramstetter sisters own hundreds of Halloween decorations, many of them on display in front of their home at 929 Main St. Photo by Richie Ann Ashcraft.

The big white house at 929 Main Street is a popular Halloween stop for the young and old alike.

Each Halloween Marie and Karol Ramstetter have an open house. Guests are welcome to come in for a drink and tour of the old colonial-style home owned by the sisters.

Karol loves Halloween. She has assembled at least 30 blow-up decorations in the front of the house. There are pirate ships, light up feet and eerie ghosts.

“I guess once we do something, we just go insane with it. It’s crazy really,” laughed Marie, adding that they would put up more decorations on Saturday morning. Marie guessed they own hundreds of Halloween decorations.

Karol says she decorates in memory of her mother. “I guess it’s (Halloween) one of the fondest memories I have of our mother,” she said.

The sister’s mother belonged to the Fraternal Order of the Eagles in Golden. Each Halloween Karol and her mother would paint the windows of local businesses. “I remember it was just fun being in costume and laughing with my mom,” she recalls.

Karol and Marie’s mother died last April. “She loved Halloween,” Karol said.
