The Sippican Woman’s Club invites members and guests to its unique and interesting Friday, Nov. 16 meeting. The meeting will be a visit, one and a half hour guided tour, and tea at the Blithewold Estate, Bristol, Rhode Island.  

 

Blithewold is a spectacular 33-acre estate on the shores of Narragansett Bay.  It is known as New England’s finest seaside garden estate, and is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully-developed and intact examples of the Country Place Era in the United States. 

 

Each year the Christmas decorations are done in a theme that explores the interests of the Van Wickle family during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  This year’s theme is “A Family Gathering in 1910.”  

 

Participation in this meeting will require an advance sign up and a deposit for tea. Guests may contact debush2@verizon.net to register for this special tour.
