MORE UPCOMING EVENTS

 

Victorian Christmas Tours – TBA  
Last year’s revival of our house tours during the Christmas season was a brilliant success. Ladies dressed in their Victorian finest led candlelight tours through the museum, which was decorated with garland, trees, and candles. This year’s tours are scheduled for the 3 consecutive weekends after Thanksgiving. Watch for updates on days and times so you can mark the dates on your calendar. An evening you won’t forget.

Murder Mystery Dinner – TBA  
Traditionally, we partner with the BUCC Players in early February to hold a Murder Mystery dinner.
