PROGRAMS > Music at Stanley-Whitman House

About Music at S-WH

Please join us for a late afternoon/early evening of storytelling, music and song in our Museum’s tavern or dooryard garden. Please purchase your tickets online in advance, follow COVID regulations when indoors, and bring a picnic of your favorite food and drink when outdoors. We’ll provide chairs if needed but you’re also welcome to bring your own or a blanket. We also ask that you carry out any items that you bring in.

Whether in the Tavern or the Garden, Stanley-Whitman House's Music Series is more up-close and personal than other shows. All of the artifice is stripped away. No stage, no dressing rooms, no barrier between the performer and the audience. It brings the audience one step closer to the way music was intended -- an artist traveling from town to town, telling stories and making friends. Come check this out!
