A period Lunch in a 1741 homestead, with live singing

Our hosts, John and Cynthia, opera singers in their former life, now specialize is period meals and historic teas.  

They live on the grounds of Locust Grove.

Cynthia is a also buyer for the Estate's fantastic gift shop.

We enjoyed 18th Century Dutch dishes including colonial punch, chicken stew with lemon thyme broth, and biscuits in the historic Meiser Homestead in Wappingers Falls.

After lunch we toured the historic exhibits on the first and second floor and, of course, visited the historic and tea-related gift shop.
