🫖🇺🇸 We have had quite a few people ask us about our next afternoon tea over the past few weeks, so we are thrilled to officially announce details for our upcoming July tea! 🫖🇺🇸

We are feeling extra patriotic this year with all the America250PA Blair County celebrations, and we have an afternoon tea that is simply perfect for the occasion! On Thursday, July 16 at 2:00 PM, we will be hosting our America "2-5-Tea" Talk with The Skirted Soldier! Not only will Rhonda Smith (founder of The Skirted Soldier) discuss how she started her beloved, hand-blended tea business, but she will also guide audiences through her service with the U.S. Air Force!

We cannot wait to finally welcome Rhonda over for a tea talk here at the mansion, and we know that many of you cannot either! Tickets for this afternoon tea experience are $20.00 per guest and are available on our website at www.blairhistory.org/events starting TODAY! If you would rather not place your reservations online, you can call us at 814-942-3916 to purchase tickets via cash, card, or check.

We hope to see you next month!
