2025-03-29 18:30 - 21:00 | The Lyman Homestead, 3 Lyman Road, Middlefield, CT, 06455, United States
SOLD OUT
Calling All Mafiosos!
Step into the shadowy world of 1940's organized crime, where loyalty is everything and betrayal lurks in every corner. Immerse yourself in a night of intrigue, deception, and danger, where secrets are deadly, alliances are fragile, and every decision could change your fate. Choose your side wisely- trust no one, and remember: in this world, power is the ultimate currency.
The Scene:
Tensions are high as two rival mafia families, long at odds, are meeting under a fragile truce to negotiate peace and secure their future. But as the families gather to seal the deal, one ambitious member has other plans. When a sudden murder disrupts the night, the truce shatters, and suspicions run wild.
Was it a calculated act of betrayal? A warning from the opposing family? It's up to you to piece together the clues, interrogate your fellow party goers, and uncover the truth. Someone in the room is guilty, was it you?!

Bring your own drums and shakers, blanket or chair. No experience necessary!

The event is free to attend, and run by Ken Parker ~ donations are appreciated.

What is a Drumming Circle?
A drumming circle, sometimes called a rhythm circle, is a group of people who gather to make music with percussion instruments. The format is free-form, without a firm beginning or end to the music. Players in drum circles are all on equal playing ground, and there are no wrong notes. They listen to what others are playing and join in. It's not about perfection but rather participation.
Drum circles have ancient roots in cultures with strong drumming traditions, Asia and Africa, and among shamanistic practices of Native American cultures. All kinds of drums have evolved over time, and many of them are hand-drums, played by hitting the stretched hide on the drum with the palm or fingers. Many drum circle participants play hand drums but others might use small hand-held percussions like bells, shakers, and rattles.
Bring your own drums and shakers, blanket or chair. No experience necessary!

The Lyman Homestead Art Tour
2025-04-26 10:00 - 11:00 | The Lyman Homestead, 3 Lyman Road, Middlefield, CT, 06455, United States
Discover the hidden artistic treasures of the historic 1864 Lyman Homestead in this exclusive art tour led by Emma Flaherty, Curatorial Fellow in European Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. The tour will take place on Saturday, April 26th at 10am.
While Lyman Orchards is celebrated for its orchards and family-friendly activities, few visitors are aware of the remarkable art collection housed within the historic Lyman Homestead. This tour shines a light on the passion for art collecting that Mary Elizabeth Lyman, a prominent member of the Lyman family, cultivated in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Explore an exquisite selection of works by American and European artists, ranging from 19th-century landscapes to 20th-century portraits. The tour will also feature unique artworks created by Lyman family members themselves, offering a deeply personal connection to the creative legacy that spans generations. This tour will take place on the first and second level of the Lyman Homestead, there will be stairs (no elevator) for those who can manage.
The tour guide, Emma Flaherty, grew up in Connecticut and is currently a Curatorial Fellow in European Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, CT. She received her B.A. in Art History from Wesleyan University and primarily researches Netherlandish and Italian art of the early modern period. Before working at the Wadsworth, Emma interned for two summers at the FloGris Museum in Old Lyme, CT, where she grew to have a special appreciation for the historic homes and art collections of Connecticut.
This tour offers a memorable journey through art, heritage, and history, perfect for art lovers, history bluffs, or anyone eager to explore a lesser-known chapter of the Lyman family's legacy.
