English Country Tea at Heritage Village

The Door County Historical Society invites visitors to partake in an English Country Tea at the Heritage Village at Big Creek on Aug. 29.

Tea will be served in a log home, the Warren House, with the plain surroundings of the farm folk who were typical of the rural settlers in Door County. It’s an English country tea because the Warren family came to Wisconsin as pioneers from New England. They brought their customs and tastes with them.

The four-course tea features specialties from the English countryside and even a special guest appearance by Mr. & Mrs. Warren. The tea begins with a first course of cheese, quiche and mini-scones. Sandwiched in the middle courses are fruits and breads and traditional tea sandwiches. The final course is desserts. Hot and iced tea, as well as lemonade and water will be served.

Come have fun and hear stories about our past. Hats and gloves are encouraged, but not necessary. The cost is $20 per guest. Tea times are available at 11 am or 2 pm; each setting is limited to 20 guests. Reservations are due by Aug. 22. To make a reservation, call 920.421.2332 or email [email protected].
