Tea Talk: Haunted Fredericksburg

Listen as local author and Mary Washington House Manager, Michelle Hamilton, discusses her new book, Haunted Fredericksburg. Tickets are limited; purchase yours today!

Join us on Tuesday, October 8 for a “spooktacular” Tea Talk with Historian Michelle L. Hamilton as she guides us on a spirited tour of haunted Fredericksburg. Though the streets of Fredericksburg are peaceful today, the ghosts of the past still lurk in the shadows. From the colonial era to the civil War, the region witnessed some of the most dramatic and bloody events in American history. A woman in white is seen walking the grounds of Chatham Manor every seven years. At the Rising Sun Tavern, a rowdy tavern keeper continues to make his presence known two hundred years after his death. The spirit of Mary Washington, the mother of the first president, has been seen tending her beloved garden. Michelle’s new book, Haunted Fredericksburg is hot off the press and will be available for purchase and signing.

Ticket purchase includes a Full Tea with a selection of savories and sweets, hot tea and presentation by our guest speaker.
