The Woodman Museum was founded in 1916 from a trust established by Annie E. Woodman to: “To advance and develop passion for History, Nature, and the Arts. To educate, excite, and inspire current and future generations about . . . a changing nation by preserving and exhibiting objects of historic significance, decorative and fine art, and natural science that connect Dover and its citizens to . . . the world.”
Description
Join us this October for a family-friendly educational evening tour of the Woodman Museum and meet the people from the past whose artifacts call the museum home. Guests will be guided to scenes throughout the museum and its grounds. One part Ghost Tour/ one Part Museum Tour, all around fun for all ages!
Your tour group will be guided to specific artifacts in the museum and on the grounds where people associated with those artifacts will come to life again! They will regale you with tales of their life and of the objects they were connected with in life -- some happy, some full of woe -- and you'll learn more about the people, some of the museum's key artifacts, and the museum itself.
Tickets have a timed start time, so please don't displease our spirits by being late! Also, the spirits don't like to be crowded, so space in each tour is limited; buy your tickets early before they sell out!
Please keep in mind that only parts of the tour are fully handicapped accessible. We will do our best to accommodate any special needs if you give us a call in advance of the event.
The tour will involve going up and down a full flight of stairs, and a portion of the tour will be outside. Light levels will be low inside and out, ground outside may be uneven, and it may be chilly, drizzly, rainy, snowy, windy (etc., etc., etc.) outside. This is a "rain or shine" event, but we do reserve the right to alter the outside portion if we deem it necessary.
