Fright at the Museum (The American Museum in Britain)

October 28, 2016

Fright at the Museum
Friday 28 October 2016, 6 – 9 pm

The American Museum in Britain is participating in the national Museums at Night initiative with a special late-night opening in celebration of Halloween.

The Museum is the perfect venue for such an event. Visitors will be led around the Manor House by a guide, and told stories along the way. Tales of the Museum’s own sinister past as well as interesting and peculiar happenings experienced in more recent years will feature in this fascinating tour. Anecdotes from staff members who have been working — or live — in the Manor House will be shared along with ghostly American folklore tales such as Bloody Mary from Pennsylvania and The Birth of the Jersey Devil.
This tour is a unique and thrilling event for those who enjoy experiencing a spooky atmosphere in a historical setting. The stories featured aren’t suitable for young children, but designed for those aged 14+ (with parental discretion).

Guides will lead timed tours through the American Museum in Britain at 6, 6.30, 7, 7.30, and 8.30pm.
