Upcoming PUBLIC events

SUMMER WALKING TOURS
& SCAVENGER HUNTS

Well shit, it sure got cold out here... Public tours for the season are probably over. But hey, we always reserve the right to spontaneously throw another one up here if one of our guides wants to brave the chilly weather. Private tours, lectures, and scavenger hunts are available year-round. Contact us for details. 

WINTER LECTURE SERIES

GET EXCITED! This January, our annual winter lecture series at Room 13 will return. Attend in-person and enjoy vintage cocktails... or watch virtually from the comfort of your own home. Check out last year's recordings here while you patiently wait for our all-volunteer organization to finish planning an exciting new iteration.
