COURT HOUSE – As part of its year-long 90th anniversary celebration, the Cape May County Historical and Genealogical Society is hosting “Revolutionary Tea: An 18th Century Tea Experience” presented by Stacy Roth April 29 at 3 p.m.
Why was tea so important in the lives of 18th-century people that fashion-conscious families posed for portraits with their tea sets? Did Great Britain lose her American Colonies over “the cup that cheers?” Find out in this unusual costumed presentation of tea lore, history, songs, poetry, living history display and demonstration. Tea and assorted delectables will be served.
