Calling all curious minds looking for a unique night out! Mansion Mixers are your chance to explore Brucemore after hours while diving into fascinating stories from history. Each program includes time for self-guided tours of the mansion, an entertaining presentation from one of our public historians, mocktails in the Tahitian Room, and an activity tied to the evening’s theme. If you’re looking for a fun and casual way to learn something new while connecting with other history fans, then this event is for you!
To celebrate the holidays, our December theme is Twisted Tidings!
This holiday-themed Mansion Mixer uncovers the odd, spooky, and just plain weird ways Victorians celebrated the season. Sip on a festive mocktail while you learn about bizarre holiday cards and the lost tradition of Christmas ghost stories. As you explore the mansion, search for Krampus figures hidden within the beautiful holiday décor.
