SPECIAL EVENTS

“Motif for Murder” – You are all cordially invited to the retirement party of possibly the most famous Jazz Pianist of the 1930s. Miles Bishop has decided that it’s finally time to turn in the ivories and settle into the simple life. But before he does, he is going out in style with a ride on the historic Strasburg Rail Road that will be full of music, laughter, and friends.

From the moment you enter, you are immediately thrust into a turn-of-the-century reality that you cannot escape. Or can you? Unleash your inner detective as you enter the mystery and try to escape an old stationary PRR Caboose and/or Coach Car in our Town Square.
