Guests will experience the dim lights\, mysterious rappings\, a nd otherworldly manifestations that once baffled top scientists and enrage d master illusionist Harry Houdini. \nFollowing the performance\, step bac k across the veil for an interactive Q&A session with Crandon herself. T his is your chance to ask about her spirit guide Walter\, her fierce rival ry with Houdini\, and the thin line between psychic wonder and theatrical illusion. \nComplementing the performance is a pop-up micro-exhibit of 19t h-century mourning clothes and accessories drawn from the museum’s exten sive costume collection. These fragile garments offer a haunting look into how historic Boston families visually processed sorrow and commemorated t he dead during an era of frequent brushes with mortality. Together\, the e xhibition and performance offer an immersive\, unforgettable journey into how Bostonians sought comfort in the unknown. \nThere will be three time s lots: 5:30\, 6:30\, & 7:30 pm \n\nPurchase tickets here: https://www.event brite.com/e/whispers-from-the-veil-a-victorian-seance-experience-fri-oct-3 0-tickets-1998382180898?aff=ebdssbdestsearch LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T181932Z URL:https://nscdama.org/event/public-whispers-from-the-veil-a-victorian-se ance-experience/ X-SOURCE-NAME:The Society of Colonial Dames of Massachusetts X-SOURCE-URL:https://nscdama.org/properties/dorothy-quincy-homestead/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:(Members Only) Tour of Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House DTSTART:20261115T183000Z DTEND:20261115T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260821T182035Z UID:10000183-1794749400-1794754800@nscdama.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Join the Young Dames Committee for a tour of the Louisa May Al cott’s Orchard House.
