The Infused in History exhibit is now showing at the Smith-McDowell House through September 28, 2019. Visitors will learn about tea and tea history with displays and informative panels in each of the period rooms.
Texts have been written by area tea business owners and the museum will use items from its collection as well as temporary loans. Visitors will be given an opportunity to ‘take tea’ before they leave.
