In addition to a competitive spirit, participants are encouraged to bring their favorite board game, Magic deck, and beverages (no red wine or Twister in the mansion) for an evening of fun.

The museum will provide classic board games and teammates as needed, plus low-priced snacks for the evening. This event is free as part of New Bedford's AHA! Night.

This Greek Revival mansion, located on a full city block of formal gardens, is a National Historic Landmark, one of only 2,500 in the nation.

It was built in 1834 for whaling merchant William Rotch Jr. The period rooms of the house chronicle 150 years of the economic and social evolution of the City of New Bedford, as reflected in the residencies of the Rotch, Jones and Duff families and their domestic staff.

The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Advanced booking for admission is encouraged but not required.

Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for AAA members, seniors, and students, and $3 for children (ages 7–17).

Visitors can book museum visits and receive more information on the Rotch-Jones-Duff House website.
