Scoundrals, Glass Harps, & More...Oh My!


Step back in time at Compass Inn Museum’s lively living history event! Families will enjoy the whimsical “Honest Day’s Work” Children’s Museum, the curious Cabinet of Curiosities, and hands-on games exploring the colorful "Canting Language" and life on society’s fringe. Meet first-person interpreters “Ould” Badger, Maggie, and Penelope as they bring 18th- and 19th-century stories to life. Don't miss Virginia's captivating glass harp performance. History, fun, and learning come together in this unforgettable day for all ages!

Join us Sunday, June 15, at 9 am for an authentic 18th-century church service with Parson John on the museum’s historic grounds. The service is free and open to the public. Attendees receive 10% off museum admission for the rest of the day.
