People have been enjoying tea at The Gables for over a century! Please join us at The House of the Seven Gables on Sunday, April 7th for a tea to celebrate Gables founder Caroline Emmerton’s birthday.

Enjoy an afternoon tea service catered by Ferreira Foods Social Catering with teas provided by Jolie Tea Company and a short presentation on Caroline’s life by local historian Irene Axelrod.

All proceeds from the event benefit The Gables’ Collections Fund and a series of conservation projects planned for paintings related to the women of The Gables. After the event, there is an option to take a tour of The Gables which will include a viewing of the conserved Flight into Egypt, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne’s portrait, and the newly opened Settlement Worker bedroom.

Tickets are $95 for Gables members and $110 for nonmembers. Please register early as there is limited seating available.
