Those who missed the March 2014 trip enjoyed a tram ride through the glorious late summer gardens, the house and its collection of decorative arts and Costumes of Downton Abbey, an original exhibition of exquisite designs from the award-winning television series, with forty historically inspired costumes and photographs and vignettes inspired by the fictional program, and by real life at Winterthur.

Lunch was "American comfort food" at historic Buckley's Tavern in Centreville.

                     Christina celebrates her birthday each year with a tea.  
This afternoon tea in Liberty Hall at Kean University in Union, N.J. was inspired by Mary Alice Barney Kean's tradition of giving her guests a house and garden tour followed by tea on her porch.
