Join us for our annual
Holiday Tea
a wonderful way to ring in the season!

Enjoy a traditional English tea served in the Great Hall of the 1806 Governor Gore mansion. The Gore mansion is one of the finest Federal period historic houses in New England. Traditional tea includes scones, savory tea sandwiches and assorted sweets.

After your tea, you'll join a guide in period costume and hear tales of scandals in the Austen era as you view the beautiful rooms of this wonderful early 19th century home.

Tickets must be purchased in advance.
To purchase tickets, please call (781) 894-2798.

 

After your tea, enjoy a special Jane Austen Themed Tour.

In the 18th and early 19th century the outcry against scandalous behavior was measured by its affront to the social convention. While the central theme in Austen is the idea that rational and sound love will perfect one's character, an underlying theme is "what will the neighbors say?"

Led by a guide in period dress, you will view sumptuous rooms and hear tales of scandal and bad behavior in Austen's time. The tour is included in your Holiday Tea & Tour admission.
