A unique event for tea lovers everywhere
12-4 PM | Hardeman House | 307 White Avenue | Henderson, TN

$25 Adults ($28 at door) | $18 Children, Ages 3-10 ($21 at door)
Free for children ages 2 and under We are delighted that the tea party continues to grow from year to year, as ladies of all ages keep bringing new friends to share the experience with. L

eisurely taking tea at a pretty table laden with delightful finger foods is a wonderfully special way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Not only is there the tea party itself, but there are numerous venues ranging from making paper dolls and other crafts for the little ladies - to historical etiquette lessons or needlework projects for the grown-up ladies. The offerings of our Tea Boutique are also very popular, as they allow our visitors to recreate their own tea parties at home. We invite you to peruse last year's beautiful pictures at this site: http://photos.fhu.edu/Associates/2012-2013/teaparty/29600760_SgvKHM #!i=2532382113&k=3qxfSWC.
