Ouija: The Beguiling History of Maryland's Silent Seer

Gather your courage and join us for the wild ride through dark history!

Public historian and storyteller Rissa Miller returns to the museum for her new-in-2025 presentation detailing the history of the Ouija Board. With its roots in Baltimore and on the Eastern Shore, this much-feared (and much misunderstood) oracle system is Maryland's own magical seer.

This is an original program by Rissa Miller. Join us in the darkness the start of spooky season! This program is expected to sell out. Costumes and spooky attire are very welcome.
