A perennial favorite for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, the annual Edith Abbott Victorian Tea Party will be held from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 25, 2022 at the Grand Island Public Library, 1124 W. 2nd St. Attendees are encouraged to bring one adult guest to enjoy the party with them.
The tea party is in honor of the birthday of the library's namesake Edith Abbott, born on September 26, 1876. Children will learn about Edith Abbott, the etiquette of Victorian tea parties, sample tea party treats and make a Victorian craft. The Stuhr Museum will present historical programs and there will be a drawing for prizes.
Attendees may come dressed in period costume such as Victorian hats, dresses, gloves, or may wear their favorite dress or other attire. Guests such as teddy bears, dolls, or other stuffed animals are also welcome.
