Compass Inn Museum By Candlelight: Celebrating Harvest-Time

  • Ligonier Valley Historical Society/Compass Inn Museum 1386 Route 30 East Laughlintown United States (map)

Join us at the Compass Inn Museum for a cozy candlelit celebration of the harvest season!

Celebrate another bountiful harvest by joining us for the ever-popular Harvest Candlelight Tour of our early 1800s stagecoach Inn on Saturday, November 9 or 16, 2024 from 4-8 pm. As you visit each room with your period-dressed docent, you will feel the warmth of the inn’s rustic charm while adorned with natural autumn accents, cheery glowing wood fires, and the flickering of candles in every room.

When visiting the cookhouse, your senses will come alive with the sights and smells of scrumptious food being prepared, using recipes and ingredients inspired by the harvest and the cuisine of the 18th and 19th centuries. Our masters of open hearth and beehive oven cookery will demonstrate cooking techniques and will share the history of our current-day Thanksgiving celebration.

Finally, do not miss visiting the blacksmith shop where our blacksmiths as they demonstrate their craft.
