Historical Dancing Demonstrations - All Weekend - This troupe of Terpsichore revivalists brings 18th century dance back to life, costumed in period garb. Audience participation welcome. Fencing Demonstration - All Weekend - The gentlemen of Mozart’s day knew how to defend their honor when challenged to a duel. The North Shore Fencing Club will provide a brief historic perspective on the sport of fencing, followed by a demonstration of contemporary techniques. Director: Vladimir Gofman. Mozart Dice Game - All Weekend - “Musikalisches Würfelspiel” or musical dice. Mozart might have created this musical game of chance in 1787. Players become composers by tossing a pair of dice to determine each musical note. Musical-dice specialist Rebecca Arkenberg conducts guest musicians using her specially-designed game board, fleshing out the harmonies and continuo. Result: Minuet a la Mozart. Participants can take home a copy of their eight-bar composition. Traditional Puppet Mastery - Punch 'N Judy - Saturday and Monday Only - Master puppeteer Fred Greenspan provides an historic overview before each show, then wows kids and families with the sometimes sweet, sometimes raucous doings of puppets based on characters from medieval Europe.

House tours, on the hour and half-hour, narrate the history contained in 16 remarkable rooms.
