Mount Gulian Historic Site will hold its popular Children’s Holiday Tea. Always sold-out in advance, the Holiday Tea welcomes children and adults to an event that combines fun, good manners, and education about a bygone era, in an authentic location where social teas were once standard fare.
Afternoon teas were popular at many Hudson Valley homes, including Mount Gulian, home of the Verplanck family. This event replicates a once common tradition, when days were far less hectic. Learn about the tradition of afternoon tea, when Victorian ladies and their gentlemen met for tea, refreshments, and light conversation. Feel free to dress for the occasion.
Offered just in time for the holidays and intended to bring families together, the Children’s Holiday Tea will be held in Mount Gulian’s two main museum rooms, beautifully decorated for the holidays with fresh greens and tables set with fine linens and china.
The menu will include assorted Harney & Sons teas, dainty finger sandwiches prepared by The Bagel Shoppe in Fishkill, and a selection of homemade desserts. A Victorian-inspired craft project for the children will also be offered.
Prepaid reservations are required by Dec. 15. For reservations and further information, call (845) 831-8172 or email info@mountgulian.org.
