This time simply called A Night at the Museum, the format is the same. MVHS volunteers will dress up in period costume and transport you to an earlier time in our history by telling tales by candlelight at various locations within the Museum.
"There will be bushrangers and murders and ghosts, and all sorts of goodies," said MVHS president Gary Hollis.
The evening will run from 6pm to 8.30pm and bookings are essential. Six time slots are available at 6pm, 6.30pm, 7pm, 7.30pm, 8pm and 8.30pm, allowing for up to 12-15 people being guided through in each time slot.
To book phone 6553 5823 or email mvhsmuseum@iinet.net.au. Alternatively you can inquire at the Wingham Museum. Cost is adults $5, pensioners $4, children $1 and family $10.
