The museum\u2019s annual Spring Tea is planned for 1:00-3:00 p.m. Saturday, April 5, and offers an exclusive preview of the quilt exhibit. Guests may view the quilts before and after the tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea and refreshments will be served. Each table will be uniquely decorated, most with heirloom and collectible tableware. Bring your sister, mom, grandma, daughter, granddaughter, aunt, friends; wear a hat or spring-themed accessories and enjoy a charming afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea tickets must be purchased in advance. Ages 12 and older are welcome to attend. Because only a limited number of tickets are available, those interested in attending are encouraged to purchase their tickets early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
