Museum of Make Believe

Ghost Stories in The Gallery

Join our artists for an evening of storytelling as locals and authors share their stories of ghosts and the supernatural. Our main gallery will provide the setting for this evening that will offer up a blend of tales about real local haunts as well as original fiction by talented regional authors … and perhaps a few revealing stories about the spirits of the museum itself. So, have a seat by our campfire, let us make you a s’more, and enjoy our special evening of entertainment.

An Enchanted Fairy Tale Afternoon

Join us for a special afternoon of fairy tales told in our mystical forest setting that will surround you with the aura of woodland creatures. Our special guest, Charles Dickens, will join us in full Victorian costuming as he tells a little-known Dickens' tale. A miniature theater will set the stage for an authentic early 1900’s magic lantern show with hand-painted glass slides and original fairy tales, followed by various local authors and an exciting shadow puppet show! We will close with a few more surprises and a sweet treat.

We're All Mad Here : Tea Party and Make Believe

Most everyone’s mad here! We invite you to join us at our dream table for a surprisingly surreal Victorian Tea Party and Make Believe! Come enter our playful world and enjoy a full high tea with special sweets all served within the setting of our museum. Accented by vivid giant flowers, mushrooms and a kaleidoscopic multicolored glow, entertainment will include a special scavenger hunt, tarot card readings and magic performances … all led by our fantastical cast of characters inspired by the world of Lewis Carroll. Curiouser and curiouser costumes are encouraged!
