Food and History Pairing

A perfectly wonderful way to spend an afternoon, this event is ideal for Convention Outings, Sightseeing Tours and Social Gatherings. You will experience a slice of architectural and social history as it pertains to the architect who designed the Mansion and the families who shared this magnificent home, all the while enjoying a delightful sampling of craftily prepared hors d’oeuvres and appetizers. We recommend light summer refreshments to compliment your menu.

The only thing left for the host to do is invite the guests, the catering staff will take care of the rest.
