From March through November, the Government House Historical Society hosts Victorian Tea weekends. Held in the beautiful Government House Ballroom, a typical tea includes three sandwiches, a fresh scone and preserves, and a dessert, all served with an endless pot of tea.
If you have any questions or concerns please send an e-mail message and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Note that we are unable to accommodate requests for special diet of any kind.
We also have Tea Gift Certificates. Talk to our cashier or one of the Volunteers. If you are at Government House and wish to purchase tea gift certificate, please ask for Rebecca.
