KHS Victorian Tea Party
Was a Success!!

The society’s annual Victorian tea party was scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, December 7, at KHS headquarters, the Henry Weld Fuller Jr. House, located
at 107 Winthrop Street in Augusta. There was holiday music and lively conversation. Members and the public were invited to celebrate the holiday
season at this annual event, which the late Mary McCarthy instituted a generation ago in the dining room at the previous KHS location at 61
Winthrop Street. A variety of goodies were available to sample,
including cookies, other snacks, coffee, and tea.

If you missed this year's event, please know that another one is scheduled for December 6, 2026!
