This event is now POSTPONED to the fall. A new date is yet to be determined.

This event is now SOLD OUT. Thank you for the tremendous response to this event at Rock Ford.

In letters written home to his wife Katherine while serving in the Revolutionary War, General Edward Hand would address her as “My Dearest Kitty.” Later, as the mistress of Rock Ford, Kitty Hand hosted many elegant teas for family and friends.

During Rock Ford’s family friendly event “It’s Tea Time,” Kitty Hand will welcome guests to an afternoon of tea and sweets. Guests will also learn about historical fashion during a mini fashion show and talk and enjoy activities, games and a craft. Guests are encouraged to wear fancy accessories such as gloves, hats and jewelry.

This event will be held on the first floor of the Rock Ford barn. Cost is $12 per child and $15 per adult. The reservation deadline is April 24 unless the event sells out prior to that date.

This event is recommended for youth ages 5 and up and their family members. Children must be accompanied by at least one responsible adult.
