The volunteers knew much about the mansion and were able to answer all our questions. Lovely furnishings from long ago. Take note of the wallpaper which was incredible! Loved it! A must see if you like historic homes.
We do have a five-star crew, Julie! Thanks for your visit and for taking the time to send us a pat on the back. We appreciate you supporting the labor of love! Come again soon!
My sister and I took our husbands to the Moss Mansion's most recent murder mystery night. We had a great time. The evening was made even more special as they also served us a three course dinner with wine. (The food was delicious)
The murder mystery was well organized, you get the characters that you are to play via e-mail, with suggestions for your costume. This particular murder mystery was set in the 1960's, so my sister and I had great fun remembering all the sorts of things we wore in the sixties.
You are also given a list of the other "characters" and some information about them and the setting of the murder to help you with your character. Marlene (the lady in charge of the event) is very good at keeping in contact with you and letting you know any new information that may be helpful.
I loved the Moss Mansion. It was beautiful and has been kept in pristine condition. It was very nice that they allowed us to conduct our murder mystery all throughout the mansion, so you get a self guided tour of sorts while you are searching for clues.
The murder mystery is also accompanied by some intermittent games or activities to help you meet and visit with the other guests. We had a dance competition and it was great fun to see what everyone came up with.
I highly recommend visiting the Moss Mansion for a tour, or if you are able, sign up for one of their special events. It is well worth it.
Judy, we are so glad you were able to enjoy the event! The weather was challenging and we know it was not easy to travel.
Our Murder Mystery Dinners are such a fun way to explore the museum. Thank so much for this glowing review, and thanks for supporting the Moss Mansion. We hope to see you again soon!
This home is full of beautiful handcrafted woodwork and artifacts from the early 1900's. I just loved the crown molding work and pillars in the ballroom! the craftsmanship of the home is amazing! Defiantly worth visiting at some point! The staff here are so nice too! If you are around during Halloween time make sure to stop by for their events that they hold!
Gosh! Thank you for five stars AND exclamation points! The mansion really is a treasure and we very much enjoy sharing it, whether it's a tour just to look and listen or when we invite folks to have some fun in this awesome setting. Your support helps us continue to explore the archives and makes it possible for us to create even better access to the historical treasures found only at the Moss Mansion. Thank you!
Went on a Saturday during the Christmas season and saw the decorated trees in each room. Very festive and we really enjoyed learning the history of the building and the family who lived there for so many years!!
Five stars is high praise from guests! Thanks, Lisa, for your holiday visit and your very kind review. Each season we strive to provide a fresh look into the history preserved here and to create a space that is inspirational and fun. We are happy to know we hit that mark for you!
This is a museum well worth the visit. Lots of local history, beautiful period pieces, and human interest.
Thank you for five stars, Kathleensuez. This time of year is simultaneously glorious and challenging - the house simply shimmers with the holiday season, and the weather outside can be so frightful. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your visit!
Right in downtown and cool it see if you have a free afternoon. Lots of seasonal setups created also.
