Victorian Afternoon Teas

Held throughout the year — often around the holidays — Victorian Teas take place inside the storied Patterson Homestead. Established in 1816, the Homestead was once home to Revolutionary War soldier and Lexington, Ky., founder Col. Robert Patterson and National Cash Register Co. founder John H. Patterson. As guests enjoy a delightful cup of tea and a three-course meal served by costumed interpreters, they learn about the remarkable Patterson family and tour the historic Homestead.
