A mystery is unfolding in the Deering Mansion on Friday, October 23rd… and we need your help to solve it. At this year’s fall fundraiser, we invite you to wander through our spooky, darkened building to uncover the clues you’ll need to solve the crime!
Dyer Library is housed in what was formerly the home of the Deering Family until the mid-1950s. This mansion was retrofitted to become a public library – and all of the eccentricities you’d expect will be on full display. There will be numerous stairs to get to all parts of the building.
Please note that there will be low lighting, dark corners, and occasionally uneven footing as you explore the mansion. All unlocked doors are fair game to pass through and explore. While we have done our best to provide both a safe and spooky environment, we rely on your responsible use of our space.
You can move through the mystery at your own pace. The food and drink included with your ticket will be available throughout the event.
Please note: Combination tickets to A Mystery at Deering Mansion and the Saco Noir walk with Saco Main Street are now sold out, but there are still tickets available for the 6PM, 6:30PM, and 7PM entrance to A Mystery at Deering Mansion (there are no set exit times, attendees may stay through the end of the event)!
Too spooky for kids, this event is 21+.
If you would prefer to pay by cash or check, please visit the circulation desk during normal library hours.
