Imagine the tale of a Yankee peddler passing through the village who decides to settle down at the Bullard Tavern on a cold winter’s night. There the peddler spends every dollar he has earned on food and drink, racking up a tab far beyond his means. After being confronted over his debt, the peddler fills up his cup with ashes from the hearth and promises the tavern owner that he will return with a cup overflowing of gold.
From the Bullard Tavern, costumed storytellers, artisans, and villagers will entice tavern guests to wander deep into the village where they will find evidence of the peddler’s adventures and schemes.
Admission includes 2-hour outdoor/indoor experience and a 19th-century inspired meal at the Bullard Tavern. Attendees are advised to dress warmly and comfortably as the adventure is outdoors as well as indoors, and requires standing and walking. No large bags, backpacks, fanny packs, or outside food or drinks are permitted in the Village.
