The Wilburton has made a tradition of murder mystery weekends, and this fall's is homegrown Vermont history: The Green Mountain Boys & the New York Spy. Ethan and Ira Allen, Seth Warner and Remember Baker plot in a rebel tavern while you sing along, dance a reel and try to work out who betrayed the cause.
The setting does a lot of the work. The 1902 mansion sits at the top of a winding driveway above Manchester, all wood paneling and passages. Your $150 per person covers Friday's welcome party, Saturday's buffet dinner and show, breakfast both mornings and a professional photographer, with a cash bar pouring themed cocktails.
Rooms start at $245 a night and the package is added per person, so a couple should figure on lodging plus $300, before tax and service. Colonial costume or evening wear both fit in. A third night is half off if you want to stretch the weekend. Book online or call the inn at 802-362-2500.
