St. Joseph Museums is hosting two new events in February, providing a different kind of date night opportunity for Valentines Day.
Executive Director Sara Wilson says February 8th the Glore Psychiatric Museum will host a night of forensic investigation
"That is where you can bring your loved one, or your gal pal, or whoever it is you want to spend Valentines Day with and actually get a replica human skull that has suffered some form of trauma, and you get to learn how to be a forensic anthropologist, and study that skull and see how that person became unalived," Wilson tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr.
The event is part of a series during February titled "Nothing Says Love Like Murder!"
Wilson says this event is sold out; however, they do plan on hosting another one this spring. Interested parties can call the St. Joseph Museums offices to get on a waitlist.
The event series will also feature event on February 14th at the historic St. Joseph’s State Lunatic Asylum No. 2,
Wilson says the event on Valentines Day will be an interactive game.
"That is where you will meet nurse Audre Hill, who was an actual nurse at the state hospital, and get to solve the murder of Dr. Harlow Mills, who was a doctor at the state hospital," Wilson explains. "You'll learn a little about the history of St. Joseph State Hospital and have fun while you do it."
Wilson says the game is very similar to the board game Clue
"You get to go throughout the museum and find clues and at the end you'll get to guess who you think was the murderer, and with what weapon, and where at," Wilson says. "And so, it's very, very fun, you get to play on your cell phones, you get actual physical clues throughout the museum, but you also get videos that you get to watch that will help walk you through the story."
Tickets to the event are $35 per person or $60 per couple and can be purchased online by clicking HERE.
