The 3rd Annual Enigmatical Dinner is Historic Rock Ford's fundraising event to benefit its educational programming.
An Enigmatical Dinner offers a whimsical and engaging way to dine. Our menu is presented in the form of riddles, puzzles or cryptic clues, turning every course into a miniature mystery! Our Enigmatical Dinner is inspired by the circa 1800 recipe book of Sarah Burd Yeates of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
All riddles will be revealed at the Enigmatical Dinner, and guests will be guided through the riddles by our event emcee. Please note that the menu options are Gluten Free. Meal catered by Cracked Pepper Catering.
Your ticket also includes selections from our bar menu.
