You're invited to a Tea Party hosted by our Museum Director, Betty Anderson, at the Friends of Cornwallis 1828. From Cornwallis 1828: We invite you to our spring Tea Party. When playful Southern culture meets classic afternoon tea, it’s gonna be a special evening. After all, Southerners have long had their own tea party styles and traditions. Enjoy an evening with old and New friends.

Why not be royalty for a day at Cornwallis 1828, in Braggs, western Lowndes co in the heart of the historical Black Belt region.

The one rule for a Southern tea party is that we’re queen (or king) for the day when we sit down to sip delicious brewed tea from mix-and-match vintage china cups, nibble on finger sandwiches and scones, and catch up on the gossip. It’s a grand way to bring your favorite people together to share moments and celebrate. Make plans now to be a part of this fun event. Tickets are only $25.00, money raised goes to our nature tails here at Cornwallis 1828. Scroll down this page for sign up: https://historicalcornwallis.com/
