Who needs Bridgerton<\/em>, Downtown Abbey<\/em>, and Outlander<\/em> when you\u2019ve got the Perth Museum? Sure, these shows aren’t set in the same time periods – but they all share something in common: jaw-dropping fashion, breath-taking interiors, stunning gardens, and food and drink that’s to die for. That’s exactly what you’ll experience this fall at the Perth Museum.<\/p>\n Gather your crew, turn off Netflix, and get ready for an afternoon that will transport you back in time – where you’re not just watching history, you’re living it.<\/p>\n We\u2019re throwing an 1840s housewarming party, inspired by a real chapter from the Matheson family history. Annabella Russell, Roderick Matheson’s second wife, will be your host, welcoming you into their actual house for a one-of-a-kind experience.<\/p>\n Think Bridgerton<\/em> game night vibes, minus the scandal.<\/p>\n Kick things off by meeting the house staff, who’ll show you the behind-the-scenes prep for this grand event – and spill the juiciest about how Annabella and Roderick came to be.<\/p>\n Next, you’ll step into character. Head upstairs, where a selection of 1840s attire awaits. Pick your look and get ready for your close-up in front of the original Drawing Room fireplace, with period music setting the perfect scene.<\/p>\n Sip on a custom old-fashioned mocktail and play a period party game that’s sure to have you in stitches.<\/p>\n And then, it’s tea time! Gather around the dining room table in your period-perfect outfits, just like Annabella’s guests would have done. As you enjoy your tea, you’ll get a glimpse into Mrs. Matheson’s life – past and present.<\/p>\n Tickets are now available (via TicketsPlease.ca) for experiences in October and November for $125 (plus applicable fees).<\/p>\nWondering what a housewarming in 1840 looked like?<\/h2>\n
