Tea Party @ Hosted by the Derby Historical Society May 21

 

Tea parties aren't just for kids - they are a great theme for a party or fundraiser for adults to enjoy too! With this in mind, the Derby Historical Society is hosting Lady Humphrey’s Tea on Sunday, May 21 at 1 p.m. The tea will be held at the Catholic War Veterans Hall in Derby located at 112 Derby Ave. and the tickets are $45 per person. Tickets can be purchased by clicking here 

One of the many fun parts about a tea party is sampling an assortment of goodies. The afternoon includes hot and iced tea, assorted tea sandwiches and appetizers, desserts, raffles, and a take-home gift. A highlight of the tea is a presentation by historical performer Sheryl Faye as Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 

The Derby Historical Society was founded on April 18, 1946, to serve the Naugatuck Valley towns of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton. The David Humphreys House Museum is the birthplace of the Revolutionary War officer and friend of George Washington who later became our nation's first ambassador. It serves as the Society's headquarters, as well as home of our unique Day in 1762 Program. More than just a wonderful interactive tool for educating our region's children, the Humphreys House is also a museum dedicated to its famous resident and the community he called home.
