There has been a theft, and a priceless artifact is missing! Help unravel the mystery and find the artifact as we embrace spooky season with a special themed tour of the Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden.
Explore the burial customs, traditions, and superstitions around death in New England from colonial times through the 19th century with Dean Massey, an urban planning researcher from Northeastern University. Following the talk, a short walk to the Warner Cemetery will offer provide an opportunity to examine epitaphs and iconography up close, and engage in a discussion about the rich diversity of New England’s remembrance practices. Tour the first floor of the Palmer-Warner House and join us as we celebrate the end of our season with warm cider and chestnut roasting.
Get into the “spirit” of the season! Our special, candlelit tours will take you around the property and into the house, all the way up to the dark, shadowy attic.
