    "Yes, it is almost too good to be true—a rare opportunity to experience a formal tea in the opulent setting of an eighteenth century mansion.

    Please join us as we travel to the celebrated John Brown House Museum.

    Guests will receive a personally guided tour highlighting the exquisite china and tea set collections. Afterwards, participants will savor the colonial ambiance while enjoy- ing a delightful afternoon tea. And, who knows, perhaps Esquire John Brown will pay us a visit."
