In an immersive forest setting with no locks, keys or clocks, Wigwam Escape’s thematic puzzles challenge game players to hunt, find water and prepare food similar to how Native people did for thousands of years prior to European contact. The Institute for American Indian Studies, proudly presents a new way to interact with history, a themed escape room, Wigwam Escape.

Our museum’s mission is to “preserve and educate through discovery and creativity the diverse traditions, vitality and knowledge of Native American cultures”.

This hand-on experience of history is demonstrated through a series of custom puzzles and hand crafted set, complete with a full sized traditionally sourced wigwam.

The full experience is 90 minutes in the museum’s Research Center. This includes a pre-game orientation, the one hour escape room centerpiece, and post-game popcorn snack and discussion when your team returns to the 21st Century. The game is set for 3 to 7 players and the cost is $25 per person, or $20 for our museum members or students.

More than just a game, Wigwam Escape is built to teach through experience and foster dialogue in a game that’s dynamic, challenging and entertaining. Visit Wigwam Escape for this must-do team building experience for friends, families and co-workers.

We are excited to announce Washington’s Summer Country Concert Fest will be happening on July 20, 2025 @ 5:00pm at Washington Town Hall! More details to come.

Litchfield Performing Arts announces the 29th Annual Litchfield Jazz Festival from July 26 – July 28, 2024. The event will be held on the beautiful grounds of the Frederick Gunn School and its Perakos Art & Community Center’s Tisch Auditorium.

The festival’s founder and Artistic Director, Vita Muir, has a reputation for introducing the next big thing. For its 1996 debut, it was Canadian vocalist-now-superstar, Diana Krall. In 2022, it was 22-year-old vocalist Samara Joy who went on to win not one but two Grammy awards that year. This year the fest claims bragging rights for presenting an artist we have known since she was a 12-year-old Litchfield Jazz Camper and the world has just “discovered.” Our latest phenom is vocalist – Nicole Zuraitis, winner of the 2024 GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album!

Get tickets

2024 Litchfield Jazz Festival Line-Up:

Friday, July 26th: Friday Opens In Style!
The Fest opens on Friday evening, July 26 at 5:30 PM with its traditional Gala, boasting delicious savories and sweets from Cisco Catering, vintage French wines from Vandoren Vineyards, a full bar by Litchfield Distillery, and music by Litchfield Jazz Camp’s top players.

Their program for Litchfield is a nod to Nichols, Jim Hall, Carla Bley, Leonard Bernstein and others. Lastly, at 6:30 PM the day closes with one of the best-known jazz pianists in the world. Bill Charlap appears with bassist David Wong and drummer Kenny Washington. Charlap, “a master interpreter of American popular song” (Time Magazine), has performed with leading artists from Phil Woods and Tony Bennett to Gerry Mulligan and Wynton Marsalis. He has led his trio since 1997.
