The Dickey House in Marshfield, Missouri




The Dickey House, a lovely and gracious Greek Revival mansion, was built at the turn of the century by Samuel N. Dickey, a prominent prosecuting attorney, and it remained in the family until 1970. Now the home is a Bed and Breakfast Inn which invites you to step back in time. From the first glimpse of this massive mansion, with its three foot diameter columns and intricate woodwork on the widows walk directly above the beveled glass front entrance, you feel that you have entered an era that has long since passed. While in the area be certain to visit The Town Square and The Hubble Telescope Replica, the nearby Buena Vista Exotic Animal Park, the Fantastic Caverns, Bass Pro Shop and our local antique stores. Plan and enjoy a Dickey House Murder Mystery Weekend! Gather 4 to 7 couples, pick a weekend, and let us host your very own Murder. Your character and clues will be mailed to you approximately 10 days prior to the weekend. The clues are designed to be revealed during conversation with the other characters. Your clue sheet will advise you when each clue is to be revealed. Murder Mystery weekends at The Dickey House begin on Friday night. The get together is your chance to meet the other players and gather information about each of the characters. You may attend “in costume” if you wish. Please try and stay in character all weekend until the killer is identified.
