Living History Dinner Events

Our Living History Dinners are open to the public, by
reservation, and some are traditions spanning two decades.
Although we can usually squeeze a few in at the
last minute, if you have particular dates, it's best to
reserve early--especially for Sleepy Hollow and our
Christmas Dinners.
