It’s a Mother’s Day Murder Mystery Weekend!
Mystery, music & mayhem are on the menu at The Wilburton’s Getaway with Murder mystery weekend Friday, May 9 - Sunday, May 11. Read about the history of Wilburton mystery weekends in Broadway World, AARP and The Boston Globe!
Wilburton mystery weekends began 30 years ago when innkeeper Georgette Wasserstein Levis wrote a murder mystery homage, The Brothers Rosenblood, to her sister, Wendy Wasserstein’s Broadway hit, The Sisters Rosensweig. Family innnkeeper and New York City playwright Tajlei Levis creates new mystery events each year, inspired by Wilburton and local Vermont history.
Prizes will be awarded for best dressed guest and the team who solves the case. All are encouraged to dress in 1920s festive attire. A professional photographer will capture your portrait as a souvenir of this unique Vermont experience.
Up a winding driveway, perched on the crest of a hill, The 1902 Wilburton mansion transports you to a country manor setting, suitable to an Agatha Christie novel. This immersive weekend experience is truly to die for…

Prior Murder Mystery Weekends Include:
Join us in November for a new murder mystery inspired by local Vermont history: THE MURDER AT WIT’S END. It is 1924, and Alexander Woollcott - New York Times drama critic and literary influencer- has invited select guests to join his famous friends - Harpo Marx, Irving Berlin, Dorothy Parker and other witty members of the Algonquin Round Table- as members of an exclusive Vermont island club for the coming season. A rave review from Woollcott could make any book a bestseller, any play a hit, so Broadway producers, authors and stars are competing for favor in battles of wits, songs, and parlor games. Prospective members will have to play Woollcott’s favorite game of croquet (and he cheats) and solve The Murder Game. Some are vying to win. Others are dying to get in.
