Join television personality, award-winning cookbook author and noted food historian Francine Segan as you discover the elaborate etiquette, enchanting entertainments and dishes Mrs. Patmore would have been proud to send to the table. Vivid descriptions of Lord Grantham-esque dinner parties, cotillions and elegant picnics will transport you back in time, while you learn all the popular toasts of the era and when its proper to remove your gloves or tip your hat.

The event includes a trivia contest on the uses for now-obsolete objects that Mr. Carson would be shocked to find you couldn’t use properly, tastings of popular tidbits, garnish-making demonstrations and recipe handouts.

Space is limited. Reservations required. Fee: $35; $30 members/ seniors. Sponsored by the Friends of Rock Hall. Check is to be payable to the Friends of Rock Hall.
