Art Heist at the Skolfield-Whittier House

Join Pejepscot History Center for our fun filled Halloween fundraiser at the Skolfield-Whittier House. This year it’s an Art Heist!

It’s October 1923 and you have been cordially invited to Eugenie Skolfield-Whittier‘s exclusive soiree for the grand unveiling of her latest artistic masterpiece. This won’t be a stodgy old get-together though—Prohibition is in effect but the Skolfield-Whittiers know how to party (as long as you know the secret password).

As you settle in for a relaxed evening of viewing the Skolfield-Whittier’s extensive art collection before the unveiling, a surprise guest accidentally makes themselves known, and the fun atmosphere of the evening takes a sinister turn.

Now, it’s your task (alone or with friends) to roam from room to room throughout the Skolfield-Whittier House, a home arrested in time… except for Eugenie‘s now missing painting. Search for clues within the building’s many historic works of art. The solution will surprise you (in more ways than one!) and give new perspectives on this time-capsule house.
