A Homicide at Rockwood: A Historical Fiction Tour

The morning after a Halloween party in 1898, the body of Ms. Guest is found in a room upstairs. Foul play is suspected. From a cast of colorful characters who lived and worked in the house at the turn of the century, all at Rockwood at the same time, who could have committed such a heinous crime?


This seasonal variation on Rockwood’s classic self-guided tour through the museum is unlike any other: while enjoying this 19th century treasure house, find clues to the killing and solve the mystery! The crime is fictitious, but the suspects are real. Top off your experience with a tour of the Brittle Beauty gallery to see authentic examples of Rockwood mourning fashions and personal accessories made from human hair!
