The celebration of Mother’s Day in the United States began during the Gilded Age, when in May 1914, Congress established it as a National Holiday. In the spirit of this tradition, mothers and their families are invited each year to the Railcar No. 91^® Tea Room to enjoy a Gilded Age-style Tea Service in the Flagler Kenan Pavilion. Guests may also enjoy touring Whitehall and Railcar No. 91^® before or after their tea service, and capture photographic memories. We recommend to dress to impress in celebration of the special day!

The prix-fixe menu includes a selection of savory tea sandwiches, traditional scones, and sweets complemented by the Museum’s own Whitehall Special Blend^® tea and pink lemonade.
