We had such a great time at this event and received wonderful feedback. Thank you to everyone who attended and made our first Halloween event a success. We look forward to doing this again next year!
Join us for guided evening tours of the Bidwell Mansion as we delve into the rich and intriguing history of 19th-century American mourning. Tours will be held in the evening, starting at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m., where we will explore this fascinating part of our past. Enjoy refreshments in the Visitors Center while channeling your inner Victorian through Halloween and history-inspired crafts. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme by donning black attire or Victorian-inspired costumes for a truly immersive experience. |
General announcement
We are working on our 2023–2024 events calendar and hope to bring back some of our beloved in-person events (and a few new ones). We are also exploring more virtual opportunities to engage with our members and the community.
