Sun 5/8/2011 

Tour The Zimmerman Bury Octagon House on Mother's Day, learn the history of the house and enjoy a full buffet of special savories with a complete fashion show of the Victorian era.   Typical savories usually include 3 or 4 different tea sandwiches, lemon bread with lemon curd, seasonal scones, tomato aspic, welsh rarebit, crab salad in patty pans, fruit compote, pineapple cake, tea bread assortment, 3 different kinds of tea, flavored coffee, punch, and more!  Guests may enjoy as many goodies as they can.  Our fashion show of the Victorian era includes more than 20 different fashions spanning the mid 19th century to early 20th century.  All fashions have been reproduced using original pattern diagrams of the era and many have been created based on original fashion color plates from the period magazines.  Seating is limited and registration is required so be sure to register soon!  Our mission is to preserve this only known Queen Ann Style Octagonal house with a gabled roof.  This 1883 landmark has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is Chippewa Township's only Nationally Registered Historic Landmark, and the owners wish to share it with the public as a living museum of the middle class Victorian way of life.  All proceeds will benefit current preservation projects.  Call or email for more information or to register!  We look forward to your company.
