Journey back to the 18th century. Learn why tea was of such importance to the era's fashion-conscious families that their portraits included their tea sets.

Historian Stacy F. Roth dons period attire to explore tea's history in colonial America, the beverage's cultural importance, tea's social rituals and etiquette. Afternoon tea will follow Ms. Roth's presentation.
