During the 19th century, a popular pass-time for the leisure class was to host "salons" in their parlors. These informal gatherings bolstered a cultural community encouraging live poetry readings, philosophical discussions, musical entertainment and more. Much like the society hostesses of the Gilded Age we are bringing back this tradition in our formal parlor! The public is encouraged to participate with their own musical and theatrical talents. Salons are hosted immediately after open tours on the 1st Saturday of every month.
Gilded Game NightsJoin us for our monthly Gilded Age themed game nights! Every 2nd Friday of the month from 6-8:30pm immerse yourself in the Victorian atmosphere of this unique museum while playing late 19th century board games with friends. We offer a variety of Victorian era board and card games and light refreshments. These complimentary events are fun for the whole family! Guests may also bring their own board and card games to share as they wish. Donations are appreciated! All games from modern board games, kick-starters, D&D, to classic family favorites are welcome! Bring along your friends and family!
