'Voices from the Museum' Oct. 21

On Sunday, Oct. 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Woodman Museum, along with a cast of 40 actors and tour guides, will present its sixth re-enactment event called “Lives & Legends: Voices From the Museum." In the space of a 90-minute guided walk through 19 scenes spread throughout the museum’s four-building campus, visitors will meet famous and infamous Dover citizens and historical characters with a lot on their mind! In most scenes, these denizens have come back from the dead to narrate their stories, but in two scenes, these renowned Dover citizens are still alive and have remarkable tales to tell. Tickets for “Lives & Legends: Voices From the Museum” are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. You must choose a specific time to start your tour online. Tours will leave every 15 minutes. If you come to the museum without a reservation, we will try to get you in the next available tour. For more information, call the Woodman Museum at 603-742-1038.
