No Ghosts at the Old Town Hall

New this year, History Alive has also created the immersive experience of No Ghosts at the Old Town Hall, a haunted scavenger hunt/reverse escape room/immersive theatre experience based on all the rumors of hauntings in this cherished 1816 building. Kid conceptualized and kid-friendly, (and more than a bit influenced by the constant parade of ghost tours outside our doors) this show has been centuries in the making. Get tickets to either show!

Order and Ostentation

Inspired by the unconventional life of Elizabeth Derby West, who challenged social order with both her actions and her clothing choices, Grace and Diggs explores the connection between defiance and ostentatious dress in this multi-scene photo shoot environment. From the creator of Miss Havisham's Parlour, Order and Ostentation is a ticketed, reservation-only photo experience. All reservations must be booked on Eventbrite or directly with Grace and Diggs and affiliated event partners. Interested in coordinating a custom experience, such as a professional photo shoot, company outing, or networking activity? Email Linda at Grace and Diggs.
