Saturday Special: Teatime!

Stop by Senate House State Historic Site on Saturday October 5th from 1-3pm for this free drop-in activity and enjoy a sip of tea! Tea was introduced to Britain in the early 1700’s and quickly gained popularity among the British and their colonies. Tea had become such a staple in colonial homes that once the Tea Act of 1773 was placed by the British Parliament, it ended up becoming one of the contributing factors leading up to American Revolutionary War.

Site staff will host a table outside of our museum building with some free samples of tea that visitors can taste. This activity is free, is weather dependent and runs while supplies last.
