It's 1885, and Abilene is still the Wild West! Join us for our Spring Murder Mystery Dinner as the Swenson House is transformed into the Ruby Rock Inn, featuring an in-house saloon, complete with dinner and a side of murder. Will you be the big winner at the poker table? Will you live long enough to enjoy your winnings - or dessert?

 

35 Tickets MAX will be sold each night - 24 Characters and 11 NPC - Non-Playing Characters. NPC's still interact and participate in solving the mystery. All attendees will enjoy dinner, homemade desserts, ice tea, and root beer. Wine and Beer Drink Tickets are available for ages 21+ - 2/$10.00. To ensure a safe but fun evening, adults are limited to 2 drinks each.

 

Both Characters and NPC's will try to solve the murders and determine the correct motive. Awards will be given for: Closest Guess, Best Actor, Best Actress, and because several murders will take place, Best Death Scene!

 

Characters include: Cowboys/gals, Barkeep, Preacher, Inn Manager, Saloon Girl, Gold Miners, Sheriff, Launderess, Rancher, Storekeeper, Blacksmith, Seamstress, Constable, Brewer, Barber, Doctor, Banker, Gold Seeker, Gentleman, Lady, and more! Dressing up is encouraged! This is an ages 13+ event, so let's keep it classy!

 

All sales are final. All proceeds go to help maintain the historic Swenson House. The Swenson House Historical Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and is run solely by volunteers. Please email swensonhouseevents@gmail.com with any questions.
