THE RENWICK CLIFTON HOUSE B&B PRESENTS
Murder Along the Hudson
"A TANTALIZING MURDER MYSTERY WEEKEND EXPERIENCE"
 |
During the early 1900’s, Saugerties NY was a thriving Hudson River Town. Paper mills, brick yards, ice houses, river boat companies, and several other mills and factories were scattered along the edge of the Esopus Creek and the Hudson River.
It is the year 1913 and we are celebrating Edmund Abdy Hurry’s 70th Birthday. Mr. Hurry was a former owner of “Clifton”, known today as The Renwick Clifton House B&B. The Hurry family was one of the most distinguished families (by way of lineage) in NYC. Mrs. Emily Ashton Hurry has invited many of the well to do socialites, of Saugerties, to attend this grand celebration. While everyone appears to be friendly business acquaintances, things are changing for the industrialists of Saugerties. It is a fight to remain competitive.
Take the step; put yourself into the shoes of someone who experienced life in the early 1900’s, an era of extreme wealth, and elegance. You could own and operate a paper mill, a brickyard; maybe you are the owner of a shipping company. Perhaps you are the wife of a prominent industrialist. Picture yourself attending ladies socials, riding in your horse drawn carriage through the village being admired by so many of the ordinary woman of the town, as you frivolously spend oodles of money in all of the local shops.
Many underhanded business deals and personal secrets are revealed. Hidden skeletons are popping out of everyone’s closet. Several scandalous situations come to light. Prior to the end of the weekend someone is murdered and someone at the party is the murderer.
