Historical Society Offers Three Different October Events

Historical Society Sleuths Present Oct. 30 Murder Mystery

October 24, 2024

NORRISTOWN PA – A murder mystery is expected to keep history lovers curious and excited Oct. 30 (2024; Wednesday) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Historical Society of Montgomery County headquarters, 1654 DeKalb St.

Envision a warm day in March 1884, during which snow has melted and a river has freed itself of ice. A little boy discovers a bag in the water, and finds it contains … a headless body! The organization’s archivist, Erica Slason, examines this all-too-real mystery from Montgomery County’s past, and poses new questions as well.

Will visitors be able to correctly identify the murderer? Can they determine exactly what happened?

Seating for this sleuthing soujourn is limited. The mystery is free to attend for society members, but tickets for non-members will cost $15. Buy them by calling the society at 610-272-0297; or by sending an e-mail to contact@hsmcpa.org.
