Albion Historical Society to Hold “Come With Your Mother's Hairdo” Mother's Day Tea

The annual Mother's  Day Tea starts the Gardner House Museum's season each year, and this year's event will take place on Saturday, May 10.  Two seatings -- 11 am and 1 pm -- will be offered.  Lovely hot tea will be served accompanied by several sweet and savory courses.

In honor of the museum's new exhibit about Albion's Barber and Beauty Shops, attendees are being encouraged to arrive at the tea with their hair done up in styles that their mothers used to wear.  Special recognition will be awarded to those presenting the best styles.

Seating is limited so reservations are required by calling (517) 629-3276.  This event is free and open to the public, but donations are always gratefully accepted.

How to Contact Us While We Are Building Our New Web Site...

The Albion Historical Society is currently building a new website.  The current one has been around for ten years already, which means it is from the dark ages.  In fact, due to its age, the "Contact Us" link had to be removed.  In the interim, please know that you may still reach us at info(insert the "at" sign)albionhistoricalsociety.org.  We hope to have the new site in operation by late spring.
