Alert:
(Adult) Doors and thresholds have been symbolic portals, defenses, and status symbols, revealing details about their time in history and about what lies within. Explore the fascinating – and sometimes humorous - history of doorways, their purposes and their accessories, from medieval portcullises to door knockers, bolts and boot scrapers. Hear about the recent project to replace the front steps and stoop of Green Spring’s 1784 Historic House and what its doorways – past and present - reveal to us about the house as a home.
A traditional British afternoon tea served in the Historic House follows each tea program. Full tea includes finger sandwiches, pastries, and scone with cream and jam.
Programs are by reservation only. Call 703- 941-7987, TTY 703-324-3988.
