Spill the Tea: A Social Celebration of Colonial Women

Featuring Dr. Stephanie Cole, University of Texas at Arlington

Pull up a chair at the tea table and experience the lively world of Revolutionary-era women—where social gatherings blended hospitality, artistry, and a touch of intrigue. Join Dr. Stephanie Cole for an engaging talk on colonial women, followed by interactive stations celebrating their everyday creativity, community, and quiet influence.

Enjoy a taste of history with tea and light refreshments inspired by tea times of the past, try your hand at traditional crafts, and take part in lively conversations and games that bring the period to life.

Come as you are—or add a colonial-inspired accessory for fun photo ops—and join us in raising a cup to the women who shaped their world in ways both subtle and bold.
