This photograph (circa 1890) has captured an occasion very popular with Victorians. Three friends sitting in bentwood chairs enjoy a tea party on the lawn of the Hermitage. Victorians loved the outdoors, and a lady always wore her hat and a stylish frock when she went calling for tea.

Marker can be reached from North Franklin Turnpike (County Route 507), on the right when traveling south.
