Be entertained and entranced by renowned storytellers and musicians at the charming Colony at Lake Mohegan rain or shine! Sit spellbound as they bring to life historical moments, characters, and events from literature, as well as their own personal tales under the Pavilion or in the Stone School House. Then bring your blankets to keep you warm from the "chilling" ghost stories we will tell by the light of flaming torches and candlelight in the evening at the Pavilion!
