    Historic Geneva welcomes Live History to Rose Hill Mansion for an interactive theatrical experience In Time. Due to a mysterious nexus in time, four members of the Swan household have been ripped from the late 1800s to the present day. Each with their own goal, yet all share a common problem. They only have an hour to return to their own time otherwise they risk being erased from history. To get back to their time they need the help of Rose Hill visitors. The question remains will they be, In Time?

    In Time will be held on Saturday, May 18. Groups will leave every 30 minutes beginning at 11:00 am. The last group will leave at 5:00 p.m. This program has escape room, quest, and theatre elements. Visitors will work with their group and actors to explore Rose Hill while trying to solve clues and complete their tasks. The experience takes about an hour.

    The Carriage House Gift Shop will also be open for the event. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for students under 18. Tickets can be purchased in advance here or at the door the day of the event.

    Live History, nominated for Canada’s Governor General’s Award, is an international touring company that produces site-specific customizable mysteries around the world. Live History has toured international venues in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, England, Wales, and Ireland.

    Once a working farm, the house and surrounding grounds at Rose Hill are open May to October for guided tours. Built in 1839, the elegant Greek Revival house was the center of a busy and productive farm at mid-century, occupied by the Swan family from 1850-1890. Twenty rooms of the house are restored and furnished in the Empire style, popular from the 1820s to 1850s.

    Rose Hill Mansion is located at 3373 Route 96A, about a mile south of Routes 5&20, near Geneva, New York.
