Where: Davenport House Museum
Price: $16 advance | $19 door
Friday and Saturday evenings in October 2021
In October the Museum will present a dramatic recreation of early 19th century life when yellow fever ravaged the city. Costumed interpreters portray residents coping with the realities of life during a catastrophe with an exploration of death and funeral customs, medical treatments as well as how various sectors of the population dealt with events. A highlight is moving though the candlelit rooms witnessing enactments. In an area seldom seen by visitors, the fate and experiences of the uncounted half of the city’s population, both free and enslaved African Americans, are revealed.
Space is limited and patrons are encouraged to get their tickets in advance.
*Guests are encouraged to arrive on time to enjoy the full experience of the performance.
The performance requires that guests be able to walk up and down stairs and maneuver in low light. Guests are encouraged to arrive on time to enjoy the full experience.
