Celebrate Mother’s Day weekend in glamorous 1950s Hollywood style at The Wilburton Inn’s theatrical Murder Mystery Weekend, May 9–11, 2025. Step into the role of a movie star, studio exec, or sleuth during a weekend-long whodunnit inspired by the golden age of RKO Pictures.
Set in 1955, guests are transported to a secret board meeting where movie moguls and ambitious stars compete to greenlight one last iconic film—The Million Dollar Movie. Schemes, suspense, and sparkling attire abound as guests move through the grand salon, library, and billiard room, piecing together clues during an interactive musical mystery dinner party.

• 2 nights lodging at The Wilburton
• Friday wine & cheese welcome with character introductions
• Friday night Mother’s Day cabaret
• Saturday/Sunday country breakfasts with mom-osas and homemade goods
