Explore the Secrets of the Past
October 29 & 30, 2023
Step back in time to the roaring 1920s as you arrive at our spooky soirée. The courtyard and House is adorned with flickering candlelight, casting a warm and inviting glow, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
Take a journey through time
Gather with your friends at the firepit seating, reminiscent of the secret speakeasies of the era, where you can share stories and laughter while sipping on your libations. The House, a splendid architectural masterpiece, beckons you to explore its mysterious corners. Inside, a collection of parlor games awaits, transporting you to a time when entertainment was simple yet endlessly entertaining.
Explore the mystical grounds
As the evening unfolds, join your fellow guests in small, intimate groups, and be guided on a one-mile trek through the moonlit woods. As you venture deeper into the forest, the night seems to whisper secrets of the past.
Hear stories of the past
Finally, you'll find yourselves in a secluded clearing bathed in the soft, silvery light of the moon. Here you'll be introduced to our masterful spinner of yarns, a storyteller steeped in the eerie tales of the 1920s. As the night embraces you, you'll be spellbound by a spine-tingling tale that will send shivers down your spine, just like the ghost stories shared in the smoky corners of days gone by.
