Group Tour Entertainment
Three interactive history-based shows make stars of the people in your tour group.
Your group members assume characters of actual people from history in each of our fun-loving group tour shows. There are no lines to remember, so they’re free to ad lib as much or as little as they like … and they can be counted on to come up with some pretty hilarious dialogue.
Full meal and mansion tour included in all shows. For details, check out our group tour FAQ below.

Set at an 1897 banquet celebrating the opening of the Faulkner's mansion. When a dastardly murder mars the fun, Buffalo Bill Cody shows up to discover the culprit.

Thank you again for the delightful visit to Falcon Rest. I know everyone enjoyed it, and I heard the following comments on the way home:
“That couple must have worked long and hard to renovate that beautiful mansion.”
“Those folks are so funny.”
“They have such a quick wit. How could those people remember all those lines?”
“The food was delicious.That was so much fun!!!”
All of us will spread the word about Falcon Rest and urge other folks to plan a visit.
