Lounsbury House and Ridgefield Historical Society host a Gilded Age Tea

On Sunday afternoon, April 30, from 3 to 5pm, Lounsbury House and Ridgefield Historical Society are hosting a Gilded Age Tea, featuring an entertaining and educational program; a fine assortment of teas and treats; and excellent company and conversation — the foundation of all Gilded Age Teas.

“Phineas Lounsbury built this beautiful home in 1896, toward the end of the Gilded Age, having become enchanted by a replica at the 1893 World’s Fair,” explains Suzanne Brennanexecutive director of Lounsbury House. “Today, we host events of all kinds, but we cherish every opportunity to experience this house in context — in ways that the Lounsbury Family themselves would have done. This Tea is such an event.”      

Tracy Seem, president of the board of the Ridgefield Historical Society, agrees, “For Ridgefielders and friends thereof, the Lounsbury House is a treasured and historic setting. Most of us have been there to celebrate special occasions. Yet most of us have probably never been to a Lounsbury Family Tea before. This is our chance.”

Tickets are available at LounsburyHouse.org/Community Events. $25, or $20 for Lounsbury House and  Ridgefield Historical Society members.  Advance tickets only. Ages 14+.

A Gilded Age Tea is being presented through the generosity of sponsors:  Elegant Ridgefield; The Fountain Inn; Stacey’s Totally Baked; The Cake Box; Ridgefield Thrift Shop; and Hollandia Nursery.
