Midsummer Family Country Dance

Bring the whole family to the Historic Compass Inn Museum for an enchanting afternoon of English Country Dancing led by dance master Emily Barth. Step back in time under a beautiful tent on the museum’s scenic lawn, where the spirit of the 1800s comes to life! Dress in your best 19th-century style—bonnets, breeches, petticoats, and waistcoats encouraged—for an immersive and memorable experience. Before the dancing begins, enjoy hands-on fun with fan painting and top hat decorating to add a personal touch to your period look.

This joyful, family-friendly celebration is open to all—children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Refreshments will be served, and best of all, admission is pay what you can, but reservations are required. Come make timeless memories in a setting full of history and charm!
