This summer the Chestico Museum and Historical Society will host an afternoon Tea Party at Hillcrest Hall Country Inn in Port Hood. For those fans of the popular British TV series Downton Abbey, this will be an opportunity to dress up in your finest, wear your most elegant hat and enjoy a cup of tea!
Museum volunteers in period dress (1912 -1920s) will welcome you to a pleasant afternoon of tea, fancy sandwiches and sweets. A fashion show highlighting the styles of Downton Abbey will be held. There will be a special presentation and ladies who wear the best hats will win prizes for their efforts.
The Downton Abbey Tea Party will be held Sunday, July 27th from 2:00 until 4:30 pm.
Tickets are $15 and will be available for purchase at the museum on July 1st. Due to space constraints, only a limited number of tickets will be available.
The museum is interested in obtaining clothing suitable to the time period – long skirts, lace blouses, large hats etc. Please contact the museum if you have anything you are willing to lend us for the occasion. Thank you!
