Back by popular demand, our Halloween-themed tea features ghoulish décor, delicious tea fare, and if you’re so inclined, wonderfully scary costumes!  Starting at 7:30 pm will be another event, called "Tales from the Dearly Departed Talk and Tour," with a speaker on ghost tales and a candle-lit tour of Montpelier. Tea goers who stay for this second program will get a discounted price on the “talk and tour.”
