When I Take My Mother to Tea

When I Take My Mother to Tea

The latest film version of “Little Women” may not have swept the Academy Awards but the Little Women Tea held at the Square House the day before was a hands-down winner.

Guests dressed in period attire from the museum collection, baked ginger nut cookies from a recipe in Louisa May Alcott’s treasured and still best-selling 1868 novel, and enjoyed activities from the time of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.
