Join us tomorrow as we celebrate a historic legacy of Pride with two unique events!

~ Hammond Castle Museum

Good Witches and Bad Witches alike! Join us in celebration of Pride month for a brief family-friendly examination of the Queer history of the popular ABC sitcom Bewitched and its cast, including the 1991 coming out of actor Dick Sargent and the Pride activism of Sargent and the show’s star Elizabeth Montgomery, followed by a free screening of Darrin on a Pedestal, a 1970 episode of the program shot on location in Gloucester and at here at the Hammond Castle Museum!

Program runs on the hour at 10, 11, 12, 1 & 2 pm.

  • A brief 10-minute introduction by HCM Director of Education & Visitor Services, Caleb McMurphy
  • Bewitched (Season 7, Episode 5) ‘Darrin on a Pedestal’ (25 min. runtime)

Seating is limited so be sure to reserve your FREE tickets! Afterward, be sure to purchase admission to the rest of the Museum and see what else we have on display, including a new, temporary exhibit on the history of TV and a new exhibit on ancient Roman artifacts within the Museum. 

Join Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award-winner Liza Minnelli, alongside Ken Howard, and Robert Moore in Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon. An episodic story about social outcasts, one of whom (played by Moore) is an out gay man in a wheelchair, coming together as part of an unlikely found family, one of the film’s major sequences takes place across several locations both inside and outside of Hammond Castle Museum. See some of these scenes in the very room in which they were shot 55 years ago! Then, take a trip from Hammond’s Castle to the castle of the Mad Scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the 1974 cult-hit The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Join actors Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick in Jim Sharman’s legendarily campy adaptation of Richard O’Brien stage musical send-up of Hammer Films and other kitsch science fiction and horror schlock. Come up to the lab and see what films are on the slab! Cosplay and singing along are encouraged!
