Death at Dinsmore

This October, visit the Dinsmore Homestead for an evening of stories about the Dinsmore family and the men, women and children who worked for them as they faced life’s great equalizer: death. With tours running every half hour, docents will share tales of mourning traditions, melancholy and macabre medicinal cures — some of which may even have worked. See where death took place and explore the parlor as it was likely arranged for Susan Dinsmore’s tragic 1851 funeral.
