1776 Tea Party

July 18 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Celebrate America’s 250th with an 1776 Tea Party at Historic Sotterley! The afternoon will include a special presentation on George Washington’s Spies by Historic Sotterley’s Interpretive Programs Manager, Katherine Humphries. Also called the Culper Spy Ring, Washington’s spies were a civilian intelligence network that provided critical information to help in the American Revolution. Learn about their complex network and pioneering tactics while enjoying a tea with:

• Tea faire, including Sally Lunn Cake (George Washington’s favorite)
• Two different teas
• Lemonade
• Door Prizes

The Tea will take place in our beautifully renovated Historic Barn event space. It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy an elevated Saturday afternoon at Historic Sotterley, and we encourage attendees to arrive early to enjoy our exhibits or Colonial Revival gardens. A free tour is included in your ticket price which you can take advantage of at our 10:30 am or 12:30 pm tour times. Just check in with your name at the Visitor Experience Center prior to your desired tour time.
