Join us as historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., explores the history and luxurious artistry of afternoon tea.

Celebrate National Hot Tea Month with this presentation by historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., as she explores the history and luxurious artistry of afternoon tea. How and when did the custom of enjoying tea in the late afternoon begin? Why was afternoon tea so important for the Edwardians in particular? And do you really have to hold your "pinkies up"? Learn correct tea etiquette, what a proper menu includes, and why the custom of afternoon tea remains so enduringly appealing.

Leslie Goddard is an award-winning actress and scholar who has been performing living history programs in the Chicago area for more than ten years. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University specializing in American studies and U.S. history. In addition to a master's degree in theater, she is a former museum director and educator, and the author of two books on Chicago history. Her nationally recognized presentations have been presented at sites around the country.
