Fires, disease, executions, and even an unsolved murder in true crime style, these stories are a look at Litchfield’s scary side.
The tour starts at the Tapping Reeve Meadow with historically inspired cocktails and treats before grabbing lanterns and heading into the darkness to learn about the violent and scandalous side of Litchfield’s history. Walking tours will last approximately 1 hour and cover 1 mile. Participants are encouraged to dress warmly.

Join us for a trip back to the turn of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of a middle-class housewife. In 1908, the world was on the cusp of change. The traditions of the Victorians were giving way to a more modern way of thinking and living. Mrs. Gordon, a woman having lived in both the 19th and 20th century, has a lot to say about all these new changes. Her stories will highlight technology, sports, fashion, beauty and more.
Rita Parisi began performing historical theatre back in 2005. Her original theatrical presentations, created by Rita, entertain and inspire her audiences. Her unique shows highlight her passion for storytelling, theatre, history, costuming, and literature.
