Ella’s Birthday Tea Party
Ella Sharp was born in 1857, and we’re throwing her birthday party the best way we know how. With tea, treats, and a chance to step right into her world.
Ella’s Birthday Tea Party is a fun, feel good afternoon at the museum with reserved seating, tea for grown-ups, and lemonade for kids and anyone who wants a non-tea option. We’ll have a spread of tiny finger sandwiches and tea-time sides and sweets that are perfect for snacking and visiting.
Then the celebration continues with an Ella’s Farmhouse Tour and a visit to the Dibble Schoolhouse, so you can see the grounds and hear about the way Ella would have known them back when this was the Hillside Farm.
Dress up if you want to make it extra festive. Bring a friend, bring the kids, bring your favorite people.
Tickets are limited, and this one is easy to love. Come celebrate with us and wish Ella Sharp a very happy birthday.
