Peddler's Village is known for their Murder Mystery Dinners, but in the times of corona, they're getting creative with these new Murder Mystery Walking Tours. Offered every Saturday night, this weekend is the first event.

There’s been a very Victorian murder in Peddler’s Village. Enter a world of stodgy alienists and charismatic charlatans, saucy painted ladies, and tweedy robber barons. Stroll the byways and shadowy corners of the Village, led by your guide–who just happens to be the victim of a 130 year old murder! Inspect the crime scene, gather clues, and question suspects you meet along the way. Tickets are $25 per person. Dinner is not included, but you receive a 10% discount at several Village restaurants when you show your receipt.
