Hearthstone’s most popular event is back and more chilling than ever in this new theatrical performance that brings you face-to-face with real-life Victorian serial killers.

Vignettes in each room of the museum bring to life (so to speak) sequential killers - they weren’t called serial killers at the time - and their nefarious deeds. As you tour the historic mansion decorated according to Victorian mourning traditions led by Victorian police detectives, you will meet the killers and their victims, hearing their tales of maliciousness and murder. Based on the newspaper accounts of the day, the scenes tell of villains, victims, and the beginnings of our fascination with true crime.

Tickets are $23 each and available only through the ticketing button on the website.

Opening weekend has discounted ticket prices of $20 each.
