Inspired by a turn of the century society scandal that rocked Manchester Vermont and Chicago , The Wilburton’s latest history-inspired murder mystery, THE RUNAWAY DEBUTANTE, offers an elegant, immersive evening of music, mayhem – and murder!
The year is 1904, and Mr. Gilbert and his ambitious wife are celebrating the completion of their Vermont summer estate with a fabulous fete. The guest list is curated by Mrs Gilbert’s scheming confidante, who has a few skeletons in his own closet. Mr. Gilbert is hoping to impress financiers to invest in his railroad expansion. Their daughter, a former debutante, is expected to make a grand entrance. Her friends and rivals are dressed to the nines. The butler is polishing the silver and sharpening the knives. The daughter’s husband has brought along his guns – well, it is hunting season. Everyone is dying to be invited to the social event of the season.
The Murder Mystery Dinner Party includes an immersive mystery, an elegant dinner and a cash bar with specialty cocktails. A society photographer will be on hand to capture your portrait as a souvenir of this unique Vermont experience. Weekend Lodging Package Available -- stay in the historic mansion!
Dress in your grandest gowns, top hats and tails, and step back in time to Vermont’s Gilded Age. You’ll have a ball! Reservations required. Call 802-362-2500 x2
