SHELTON - The Shelton Historical Society will host the second annual Autumn Tea, complete with fancy hats, scones, and surprises, from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 17 at Huntington Congregational Church, 19 Church St.
Unique table settings and centerpieces created by members and friends of the Society will be featured.
Ladies who attend are encouraged to wear their best chapeau.
The afternoon also provides an opportunity to showcase some of the special items that the Society
has in its collection.
Members of the Historical Society’s youth group, the Teen Time Travelers, will assist and serve
refreshments.
Cost for the tea is $25 with proceeds to benefit Shelton Historical Society and its programs.
Reservations for the tea must be received by Sept. 7. and may be made by sending a check to the Shelton Historical Society, P.O. Box 2155, Shelton, 06484.
Please mark “tea party” in the memo line.
Shelton History Center, owned and operated by Shelton Historical Society, is located at
70 Ripton Road and consists of six historic structures.
Late last year, the Brownson House, built circa 1822, suffered severe water damage during a storm
as its roof was under repair.
The Society has been working to repair and restore the house this year and proceeds from the tea will be directed toward that cause.
