I recently hosted a murder muster dinner at the Taylor-Grady House for 15 friends, and it was absolutely incredible! The historic charm of the house added the perfect atmosphere for our themed evening - elegant, a little mysterious, and totally unforgettable. The space was beautiful and flexible, easily accommodating our dinner setup and dramatic “crime scene” moments. Our guest were blown way by the architecture and the history, and it truly elevated the entire experience.
