SUMMARY:Real Revolution: Washington's Spies Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:As the War for American Independence rages on\, General George Washington must depend on his trusted spy network for key intelligence about British movements.  In our brand-new Escape Room experience where you are one of Washington’s spies\, a fellow spy known simply as “The Lady” left vital plans for you hidden in a strongbox tucked behind the bar in a tavern. Your many clues have been locked up to keep them away from prying eyes. Can you unlock the strongbox and acquire the plans in 60 minutes before you are discovered? Do you have what it takes to complete this mission?  \n\n\n\nThis is a great group activity! Wonderful for birthdays\, company activities\, or a club outing. Fun for the whole family\, this escape room is suitable for children over eight. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.  \n\n\n\nTickets $25. Groups of 2-10 people. Each time slot has ten tickets available. You may be paired with other adventurers who are also ready to take on the challenge. Reservations are required\, select your date and time below.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ + Oral History Project
DESCRIPTION:For more than 50 years the Museum has been taking oral histories from the community. These valuable records give us first-person insight into the times in which people lived. We continue to build our collection of oral histories which inform research\, exhibitions and programs with a special focus on areas that are underrepresented. One area that is lacking in our collection is material relating to the LGBTQ + experience. The Museum is currently focusing on building an archive of the LGBTQ+ experience for future historians to use. Oral histories taken by a talented group of young public historians is key to this effort. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to share your story we want to hear it! Email archives@westporthistory.org to sign up for one of these available slots: \n\n\n\nThursday & Friday : 2:00- 2:50pm; 3:00 – 3:50 pm; 4:00 to 4:50 pm \n\n\n\nSaturday 11:00 to 11:50 am; 12:00 to 12:50 pm; 1:00 – 1:50 pm; 2:00 – 2:50 pm; 3:00- 3:50 pm; 4:00- 4:50 pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall for Oral Histories
