The 48 girls, ages 7 to 12, learned the importance of tea time in the 1800s from living history performers Christy Adel and Carol Anderson.

Girls enjoyed polite conversation, authentic tea and food, live chamber music and fresh flowers.

This was the first tea the historical society has hosted for young girls. Society officials said they may plan additional teas in the future.
