Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is offering a Mother’s Day Tea at 2 p.m. on May 8.
This Mother’s Day enjoy great tea and gourmet treats shared with your special mom as you explore the world of Jane Austen and her stories. Austen focused on mothers and their children in her works; Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park. Discussions will include comparisons between Austen’s own mother and siblings and how they contrast with real life or fiction.
Take this opportunity to celebrate mom on this special day and remember what Jane Austen wrote in Northanger Abbey, “A mother would have always been present. A mother would have been a constant friend; her influence would have been above all other.”
