Join us for a cozy and elegant afternoon at the historic Buchanan Mansion—the former summer home of President James Buchanan—where you'll enjoy the same beautiful rooms once graced by a U.S. president. This special seasonal event combines gourmet food, classic tea service, hands-on crafting, and warm community connection in an unforgettable fall celebration.

Each guest will receive a glass jar filled with Apple Pie Cake—a layered, decadent dessert that can be enjoyed at the event or taken home as a sweet reminder.

🫖 Traditional English Tea Service
Hosted by Tiaras & Tea, this service includes a variety of fine teas and all the classic accompaniments—lemon, sugar cubes, cream, and elegant presentation.

🎨 A Seasonal Crafting Experience
Create a charming tea-themed keepsake during a guided crafting session led by Mother Goose Crafts. Each guest will also receive a template and instructions to recreate the craft at home.
