On Wednesday, February 5, 2020 the historic Reeve House, home to the Westfield Historical Society, will be transformed into an Edwardian Tea House.  Enjoy a British afternoon tea luncheon as the Edwardians would have in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Experience the “Downton Abbey” way of life as you sip your tea while eating scrumptious scones with clotted cream and jam; accompanied by a variety of delicious finger sandwiches with decadent desserts to follow.
Be entertained by the sweet tone of the music in the beautifully restored 1875 Italianate Reeve House. Sit by the fireplace ablaze in the parlor, surrounded by elegant furniture and paintings; or contemplate in the Library with lovely artifacts from the Reeve family; or dine as the Reeve family in the sumptuous dining room. Admire the ambience in the dining room where lovely furnishings abound. This event is perfect for a civilized lunch with friends and family. Edwardian Afternoon Tea attire is optional!
