History After Dark: Uncover the Mystery at the Shay

History After Dark

Uncover the Mystery at the Shay
The Mystery Returns. An All-New Story Awaits.

Following last year’s sold-out debut, History After Dark returns to the Ephraim Shay Works Museum for another unforgettable evening of historical intrigue, live theater, and unexpected twists.

Step into the story alongside a cast of colorful Harbor Springs characters. As unexpected visitors arrive and secrets emerge, you’ll gather clues, question motives, and attempt to unravel the mystery—all while enjoying a three-course, historically inspired dinner (menu printed below). Will you uncover the truth before the evening ends?

All proceeds support the work of the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society.
