Tuesday Tea with a twist

Nancy Gebhart, program coordinator with University Museums, delicately places a teacup in preparation for the weekly Tuesday Tea at the Farm House Museum. If you're an Iowa State history buff, you'll want to attend the Nov. 3 tea from noon to 1 p.m. with Mary Atherly, former Farm House curator and historian. Atherly will share her in-depth knowledge of the Farm House, followed by a unique guided tour. She also will sign copies of her second-edition book, Farm House: College Farm to University Museum. Books will be available at the tea for $22.50. The event is free and open to the public. No reservations are necessary. Photo by Bob Elbert.
