Sipping tea and sampling Victorian delicacies.
That is what takes place in Calvert each year at the Victorian Tea and Gala, with the eighth annual get-together scheduled for Oct. 11, 2008. A tea gathering occurs in the afternoon at a historic home in Calvert, while the gala dance is at the pavilion in Virginia Field Park. The gala features men and women dressed in Victorian finery.
The city of Calvert was founded in 1868 and named for Robert Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore. After the Civil War, huge plantations and a number of large Victorian mansions were constructed, many of which still stand today.
The Calvin Historical District stretches 37 complete and nine partial blocks.
