Are you superstitious? If so, this is NOT the dinner for you! In the 1880s, “13 clubs” were popular: 13 people met for dinner on the 13th day of the month to eat 13 dishes and poke fun at every superstition possible. Be among the 13 guests at this special Tangen Home gathering and test your knowledge of Victorian science and superstitions. Enjoy a sumptuous meal, then take a superstition tour of the home, discovering the meaning of old folklore and tales as you explore.
