SUMMARY:Daring Dinner Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:As a famous reporter investigating the rising National Socialist German Workers’ Party in Germany\, you’re not surprised to receive an invitation at the home of a top German General for a dinner party. After a tip that this General owns top-secret documents that could reveal vital information about what the Germans are planning\, you accept. Arriving early\, you sneak into the house and steal a glimpse of these documents before dinner starts. However\, you are on a strict time limit – the General and his dinner guests will arrive in 60 minutes. If you are caught with these documents\, the consequences will be dire. Can you find the information before you are found out?  \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 recommended for children over eight. Online waiver acknowledgment is required prior to entry into the escape room. Those 17 and under must have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Participants under 15 must have an adult ticket holder in their group.  \n\n\n\nTickets $20 for members\, $25 for non-members. Groups of 2-10 people. Reservations are required\, select your date and time online. Reservations close 48 hours prior to their posted start date. You may make your reservation private for an additional $10 per group.  \n\n\n\nTickets may be purchased with the online form. To book a private session or use your member discount\, please email the museum at info@westporthistory.org.  \n\n\n\nTime slots are available Tuesdays-Thursdays from 11:30 am to 5 pm; on Fridays and Saturdays slots run from 11:30 am through 8 pm. All reservations last for 60 minutes\, with the recommendation of arriving 15 minutes prior to your start time.   \n\n\n\nTickets are nonrefundable. In the event you must cancel\, we will consider your purchase a donation and will happily issue you a donation receipt. Groups arriving 15 minutes after their reservation start time will have their reservation cancelled without a refund. \n\n\n\nSponsored\, in part\, by Cohen and Wolfe

SUMMARY:Real and Genuine\, Faked and Forged: Fantastical Stories and Objects from the Barnum Museum Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Barnum Museum holds a world of wonders. From Tom Thumb’s miniature boots and carriages to ethnographic materials from cultures the world over\, the museum’s collection is a veritable cabinet of curiosities. Even the most mundane seeming items have interesting stories regarding their use\, creation\, display\, or history…and some are fakes which also weave an intriguing tale.   \n\n\n\nAmong their shelves lurks an Egyptian mummy and coffin whose stories were first entwined in 1894; a FeeJee Mermaid for whom a captain sold a ship he did not own; early glass milk bottles created to stop an epidemic; a 17th century spoon which was as personal as a toothbrush and as handy as a swiss army knife; and two Medieval knives that stymied top archaeologists and British antiques dealers for half a century.  \n\n\n\nJoin us to see items from the Barnum Museum’s collection in-person. This program is free to the public\, but reservations are required\, register online with the form below. Donations for both the Westport and Barnum Museums are greatly appreciated.  \n\n\n\nJoin us for more Spooktober programs\, exploring the darker side of history. Click here to explore more.
