Town of Webb Historical Assn. hosts Victorian Tea gathering

The annual Victorian Tea was held Tuesday, August 2, at the Goodsell Museum in Old Forge, home of the Town of Webb Historical Association.

The event began with a skit, “Tea for All”, which was written and directed by Sue Russell of Old Forge.

The performance featured Karen Lee as Mrs. Beatrice Olmstead and Kelly Hamlin as Winifred Shrewbury who enjoyed their afternoon tea while being served by Lani Ulrich, as head housekeeper, Agnes Ruperts, who waited on them and described life in the household to the audience.

Many of those in attendance came dressed in Victorian attire.

Following the skit, tea and finger foods were served on the porch and the lawn as violinist Suzanne Sullivan provided background music.
