You and your little one are cordially invited to a charming, turn-of-the-century tea party where imagination meets elegance! Take a delightful step back in time and enjoy a “proper” afternoon of tea, treats, and games with Dekalb Public Library at the historical Ellwood House Museum. We’ll start by making fancy hats and accessories to complete our party attire before gathering for tea, juice, treats, and etiquette games. Afterwards, we shall retire to the courtyard lawn (weather permitting; otherwise, inside) for old-fashioned party games and end the party with a visit to Ellwood Dollhouse.

We encourage patrons to “play dress up” for the occasion!

Teatime starts promptly at 2:00 p.m. and families will be seated first come, first served. Please arrive early for seating. No registration is required.

This program is intended for families with children ages 6-11. Younger children may need additional assistance with crafts and activities.
