When Arnold Talbot lived at Hearthside in 1912, he had heard about the majestic ship known as the “Titanic” that was making its maiden voyage that April.  This year, Hearthside’s annual Afternoon Tea will feature a look back with a “Titanic Tea.”

Enjoy a first-class afternoon tea with elegance as you enjoy delicious tea sandwiches and dainty sweets, while learning more about this grand ship.  A perfect afternoon treat for history buffs, tea lovers, time with friends, or to celebrate the mothers in your life.  Wear your best “Titanic” outfit, or elegant hat, and be eligible for a prize.  Raffle, tour, and gift shop too.

A special presentation by Dr. Walter Powell, a historian, Titanic enthusiast and collector, will provide an interesting glimpse into the inner workings of the great ship. “No Time for Tea” details the work that was done by those behind the scenes to create the opulent experience for the passengers of this “Ship of Dreams.” Our staff will be outfitted as both passengers and crew of the ship. The elegance of afternoon tea in the Titanic’s tea salon includes delectable savories of miniature sandwiches and scones, along with dainty sweets, all beautifully arranged on fancy serving dishes set upon linen and lace, and accented by fresh flowers at every table. Music that was played on the Titanic will add to the ambience.

Two seatings are offered. Advance tickets only.  Limited space.  On sale beginning April 13.
