It’s Tea Time at the Onderdonk House In Ridgewood

By QNS Editorial Posted on May 8, 2014

Fine etiquette, food and drink were served to guests during the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society’s (GRHS) Victorian tea last Saturday, May 3, at the Onderdonk House in Ridgewood. The mid-afternoon event followed a 19th century English custom in which participants were served tea accompanied by a light meal featuring finger sandwiches and pastries. Participants at last Saturday’s tea-some of whom dressed in period attire for the occasion-enjoyed tea with light cakes and an exhibit on the Victorian era. Members of the GRHS and other guests are pictured.
