History Buffs Enjoy British Tea Party

Category: Tea Party

PEORIA - Ever wonder what it was like to have a 20th century British tea party?

Well, the Peoria Historical Society gave people that chance Sunday.

It hosted a grand victorian tea party at the Pettengill-Morron Historical House.

This is their sixth such tea party this Summer.

The society served tea and light hors d'oeuvres.

It wanted to make it as realistic as possible and give guests a fun way to learn a little about British history.

Lisa Bisbee, a Docent at the tea party, said, "It's a way to engage people with all of their senses. They see the beautiful rooms. They see the beautiful presentation. They smell the tea. They taste the tea."

And if you'd like to stop by, the Pettengill-Morron House is open to the public for tours every first Sunday of the month.
