George Peabody Library

Don your best flapper and zoot suit attire for an evening of Prohibition-era intrigue brought to you by the Murder Mystery Company in Baltimore!

Evergreen’s historic Carriage House will transform into the Dunn Speakeasy to host the wedding of two rival mafia families. But in this “married to the mob” event, someone is bound to lose power, which means someone else will lose their life! Solve this case with your fellow detectives during this interactive, Clue-style comedic event. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served prior to the performance.

A Baltimore quilt artist, Talford Scott (1916–2011) used quilts and other textiles to tell stories and preserve memories. You can see two of her prayer quilts in conversation with Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Library (1878) in “Reverberations: Disruption and Healing Through the Hand of Elizabeth Talford Scott,” on view in Alcove 1 of the Reading Room.

This installation is part of the Elizabeth Talford Scott Initiative: No Stone Left Unturned, which brings together nine institutions across Baltimore City to examine the work, life, and influence of the artist.
