Event Description:

When a just-for-fun murder takes place at Falcon Rest in McMinnville, Tenn., it’s the tour group members in the audience who are the real stars of the show.

The interactive “whodunit” assigns them real characters from 1897, then turns them loose to ad-lib to their hearts’ content. Needless to say, it never comes out exactly the same way twice. But it always lives up to Falcon Rest’s reputation as "the Victorian mansion where history is fun."

"Murder at the Mansion," takes place during a delicious meal served in Falcon Rest's Victorian Carriage House dining room.
The show is set at an elegant dinner party given in 1897 by “Gorilla Pants” manufacturer Clay Faulkner and his wife Mary, celebrating completion of their new mansion. The guest list includes the extended Faulkner family and a variety of McMinnville notables from 1897, along with nationally prominent individuals such as President William McKinley, Rev. Sam Jones, Susan B. Anthony, and Annie Oakley. To Mrs. Faulkner’s dismay, a town drunk and the local madam could show up as well.

Falcon Rest actors play Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner and their faithful cook Mag. When audience members arrive, they’re given signs identifying their characters with historical details on the back. There are no lines to remember or pressure to participate, so they’re free to interact in character with the Falcon Rest players as much or as little as they like.

Mr. Faulkner carries on an impromptu conversation with his guests during the banquet, and they can be counted on to come up with some pretty hilarious dialogue.
