The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year Murder Mystery Experience
Thursday, Feb. 5th from 5:30-9pm
at Old Mill Orchard & The Tasting Grove
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year is a murderously festive holiday comedy!
The decorations are coming down, the punchlines are falling flat, and winter cabin fever has officially set in. What was meant to be a lighthearted stand-up performance to shake off the post-holiday blues takes a deadly turn when the comedian is upstaged by something far worse than bad jokes: a murder.
In the decades preceding the US Civil War, abolitionists from the eastern states moved westward to prevent the spread of slavery into the “free” territory. Among the early American settlers in Minnesota during the 1850s were these dedicated abolitionists. Some were radical activists involved in the Underground Railroad before making their home here.
