Victorian Style Garden Party for Young Girls & Dolls – August 9, 2025
A charming Victorian-style Garden Party being held on Saturday, August 9th brings guests back in time to the year 1904, as they learn about what it was like for young girls to grow up during the turn of the century at a house much like Hearthside. It is all told through the story of the American Girl Doll Samantha, who lived in a mansion with her grandmother in the city. In particular, the program focuses on Samantha's outdoor summertime activities.
A delightful presentation about Samantha will be given by one of the teen volunteers who has participated at Hearthside since she was very young. Also included are light refreshments, a craft activity, an extensive display of American Girl Dolls, prizes, old-fashioned lawn games, a photo memento for each guest, and a gift shop stocked with treats for dolls and more. Girls must be school age, 6 and up, and accompanied by an adult. Held under a tent, the event is held rain or shine and runs from 1:30-3:30 pm.
Tickets must be purchased in advance. $24/child; $14/adult. Space is limited.
