Back by popular demand, Oaklands Mansion hosted their third Murder Mystery Experience of the year! We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with margaritas, mayhem, and the mob. The mansion served as the perfect backdrop for the 1920’s Speakeasy atmosphere, and guests came dressed to impress. Dinner was prepared by Chef Jeff and served in Maney Hall while guests participated in solving the mystery.

“Margaritas in the Mansion followed by dinner and the mystery in Maney Hall combines the best of what Oaklands has to offer... We have crafted a unique event that incorporates both the Mansion and Maney Hall, so that you will have the full Oaklands experience!”

— Karen Whitaker, Special Events Representative for Oaklands.

Before dinner, guests gathered for mingling + margaritas in the mansion. Professional actors led the show as guests gathered clues to identify the murderer! Guests were encouraged to dress in themed period attire or a festive “south of the border” look. The menu consisted of authentic Mexican dishes as well as margaritas, beer and wine! This ticket was hot, hot, hot selling out about as quickly as the event was announced, and all included for only $75 per ticket!

“I recently visited the Mansion for a Murder Mystery dinner event and had an excellent time! Wonderful staff, delicious dinner, and an overall fun evening! I am so glad to have such a wonderful landmark in my new home town, and will be back to visit and support this historical gem as well as the experience in the future! ”
