Mourning Moore Tours by Candlelight
HOSTED BY:
C.H.Moore Homestead/DeWitt County Museum
WHO: Adults and Children Welcome
DETAILS: This fall, something very special will be taking place at
the C.H. Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum. From October 1st
through October 31st, the historic house will be staged as if the
Moore household is in mourning and preparing for a funeral – clocks
stopped, mirrors veiled, mourning wreaths adorning the front doors,
the porch draped in black, the vacant chair set aside, funeral
biscuits placed on the table dining room table, a casket in the
formal parlor. Artifacts, garments, photographs, jewelry, and an
array of other items related to Victorian era mourning etiquette,
rituals, and customs will also be displayed throughout the house.
Those visiting for daily tours will have two narrative options - the
story of C.H. Moore and the homestead or the story of C.H. Moore’s
funeral and customary mourning practices of his time. Daily tours
begin upon arrival, however, large group daily tours do require
advance reservations which can be made by calling the museum. Museum
hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-5pm. In addition, Mourning Moore
Tours by Candlelight will be offered October 14th and 27th . On
those evenings, the entire house will be illuminated by candlelight
as the scene is set for a traditional Victorian era funeral.
Pre-purchased tickets will be required for the evening candlelight
tours which will take place at 6pm and 7pm. Event tickets are now
available and can be purchased at the museum or by calling
217-935-6066. A limited number of tickets are available, so be sure
