Travel back in time to the year of Hinsdale's founding, when the luxurious custom of Afternoon Tea was at its peek.

Historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., explores the history and luxurious artistry of afternoon tea. How and when did the custom of enjoying tea in the late afternoon begin? Why was afternoon tea so important for the Edwardians in particular? And do you really have to hold your “pinkies up”? Learn correct tea etiquette, what a proper menu included, and why the custom of afternoon tea remains so enduringly appealing.

This event is limited to Hinsdale residents.
