Dear Members, Donors, and Lovers of the Compass Inn Museum,
On Behalf of Ligonier Valley Historical Society’s Board of Directors, I am reaching out to you with exciting news for our Compass Inn Museum. However, I must share that this news requires us to cancel our traditional Holiday Candlelight Tours for the 2021 season. We know you will miss them, as we will miss them too. Nevertheless, please read the following message from Netflix to learn why we are so excited.
“We are beyond grateful to the leadership of LVHS for allowing us to use your exquisite Compass Inn as a major filming location for Netflix and Cross Creek’s scripted adaptation of Louis Bayard’s novel, The Pale Blue Eye, starring Christian Bale and being directed by Scott Cooper. The thriller revolves around the attempt to solve a series of murders that took place in 1830 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Bale will play a veteran detective who investigates the murders, helped by a detail-oriented young cadet played by Henry Melling who will later become the world-famous author, Edgar Allan Poe who bequeathed us the detective genre.
We know that your normal holiday season activities had been curtailed last year due to the Pandemic and understand that shortening them for another season might feel incredibly disappointing. We hope that those disappointments will be offset by the generous donation that has been given to the LVHS and know that you will be able to restore that excitement as the holidays approach in 2022”.
Our final Harvest Tour for the 2021 season is this Saturday, November 20th, from 3-7 pm. Visit Eventbrite to reserve your ticket.
We are still having our annual Festival of Lights in the Community Room of Ligonier’s Town Hall December 4th through 7th from 9 am-5 pm daily. The Toast to the Trees kickoff party will be held on December 3rd, starting at 6:30 pm. Please visit our website at www.compassinn.org for more details and ticket information.
We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and a joyous Holiday season. See you next year as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Compass Inn Museum.
Your friend in history,
Theresa Gay Rohall
Executive Director
