Back by popular demand.

Horrors of the Household takes you through a day in the life of Henry and Cremora Rogers as they encounter the surprisingly deadly dangers hiding throughout their beautiful Victorian home.

Led by Hearthstone’s Executive Director George Schroeder, this 90-minute tour is equal parts horrifying, fascinating, and hilarious.

There’s a reason it sells out every year!

Every Wednesday & Saturday through October.

What if you didn’t just watch the story but stepped inside it?

Sequential Killers returns to Hearthstone this October with an immersive theatrical experience that you won’t want to miss.

You’ll move room to room through the historic mansion as detectives lead you into the true stories of real-life Victorian killers and their victims. Each space becomes part of the performance, bringing the darker side of Victorian history to life right in front of you.

No stage. No audience seats. Just you, the actors, and the story unfolding around you.

Fridays + Saturdays all October long.

Craving a little Halloween fun, but prefer spooky over scary?

Horrors of the Household is just spooky enough to get you into the spirit of the season without keeping you up at night.
