Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Martha Hall Kelly’s best-selling book Lilac Girls at the museum that first inspired her!
Tea and conversation will both be flowing in the kitchen where Caroline Ferriday gathered with the ladies of Ravensbrück in 1958. The Penny Farthing Tea Room and Bakery will provide light refreshments to share with friends old and new – including Martha Hall Kelly. As the afternoon draws to a close, raise a glass in celebration of 10 years of Lilac Girls.
Tea Tickets include access to the festival on the grounds and the book signing in Caroline's Playhouse. Nestled in a quiet corner of the property is a charming playhouse, a childhood retreat of Caroline Ferriday’s. From 1–1:30 pm and again from 3:15 pm–4:00 pm, Martha Hall Kelly will be signing your copies of Lilac Girls, Lost Roses, Sunflower Sisters, and more. Books will be available for purchase in the museum's gift shop. Tea attendees will receive priority access to the 3:15 pm book signing slot.
