Morning Tea at the Museum

The Harbor Springs Area Historical Society is offering two sweet events during this year’s Harbor Springs Ice Fest - a Morning Tea at the Museum followed by an afternoon Ice Fest Open House.
 
Morning Tea at the Museum
Bring your family, your friends or your special Valentine to the Historical Society’s morning tea party on Saturday, February 11 beginning at 10:00 am. The event includes hot tea, decadent desserts, pastries, a gift to take home and a short presentation with curator Beth Wemigwase on the origin of Valentine’s Day cards.
 
Tickets are $15 per person and seats are limited. While this event is appropriate for all ages, guests aged 10 and above will find it the most enjoyable. To reserve your seat or register a group call 231-526-9771 or visit HarborSpringsHistory.org/events.
 
Ice Fest Open House
The Harbor Springs History Museum’s open house will take place following the morning tea event. Guests are invited to tour the museum, create Victorian-inspired Valentine’s Day cards and other crafts and get their pictures taken with the society’s ice sculpture. The open house is free, with donations appreciated, and takes place on Saturday, Feb. 11 from noon until 4:00 pm.
 
All proceeds from these events benefit the nonprofit Harbor Springs Area Historical Society’s community campaign to develop and preserve a historical corridor at the eastern approach to Main Street, including creation of a Shay House Innovation Museum and new exhibit installations in the History Museum.
