Sanilac Museum to host Christmas tea parties

By Dawn Malek, Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum Administrator

What could be more special than attending a Christmas Tea Party at the Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum?

You are invited to schedule a private tea party at the beautifully decorated Loop Harrison Mansion this season. Bring your friends, family, grandchildren, neighbors, book club, or church group.

Tea parties will be held in private dining rooms for groups of 2-15 guests. Larger groups may also be accommodated by request. You’ll enjoy the Mansion’s sparkling, elaborate Christmas decorations while being served a variety of teas and a special holiday lunch that includes:

  • Irish potato leek soup
  • Festive chicken salad sandwiches
  • Welsh rarebit over Irish soda bread
  • Cucumber sandwiches
  • Mushy peas in a tart (a staple in every British pub!)
  • English trifle
  • Scottish shortbread
  • Fruitcake bites (that you’ll actually want to eat!)
  • *A special child’s menu is available by request.

The Christmas Tea Parties will be held on Saturday, November 26 and Saturday, December 10, from 1-2:30pm. In the event that these dates sell out, additional dates may be added. Cost is $30 per person, and your ticket includes a guided tour of the Mansion.
Seating is extremely limited, so call the office at 810.622.9946 to get your tickets now! Your payment in full reserves your date.
