Victorian Tea at Par Sem
Today was the Victorian Tea at Par Sem (Parsonfield Seminary). We had a wonderful time. It was a sold out event with most everyone coming dressed in their Victorian best. This year the guest speakers were Mr. and Mrs. Abe Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln told us about her days as a child, leading up to marrying Abe. Mr. Lincoln talked about his days in the White House, and about the Civil War.
After their speach, tea and dessert inside the beautiful dormitory building. They use the money raised at the Victorian Tea, as well as other events, to restore and maintain the buildings on the grounds of Parsonfield Seminary. The buildings are a national historic landmark.
We, as well as all the guests had a great time, and look forward to next year’s Victorian Tea.
