PRESS RELEASE – Step into a world of mystery, mayhem and murder at “Murder at the Museum — 1864 Ottokee Cold Case,” an immersive mystery event taking place on Saturday, April 18 at the Museum of Fulton County in Wauseon.
The Ottokee courthouse sets the stage for this interactive murder mystery. The year is 1864 and the night sky above Ottokee is suddenly filled with bright light from a fire at the courthouse.
While neighbors work fiercely to fight the fire, by morning the building lies in ruins. No courthouse, no records, and perhaps a case of arson. But clues in the rubble show even more — there has also been a murder.
“We’re thrilled to be hosting another murder mystery event at the museum this year,” said Judy Warncke, event organizer at the Museum of Fulton County.
