Celebrating the Legacy of American Girl with Adult Tea Party and Talk

Join the RIHS for an adult tea party featuring a presentation by podcast host and author Allison Horrocks about her new book, Dolls of Our Lives: Why We Can't Quit American Girl, as well as tea-infused cocktails created by The Eddy’s Brittany Simons.

Horrocks will take guests on an unforgettable journey to the past as she delves into the origins of the American Girl brand and answer questions like; What did American Girl inventor Pleasant Rowland hope to say to children with these dolls? Was girl power something that could be ordered from a catalog, described by a magazine, or modeled in the plot lines of books? Finally, how - and why - did this brand shape an entire generation?

In addition to the talk, guests will enjoy tea-infused cocktails, including a welcome drink and three sampler cocktails, each crafted by Brittany Simons, bar manager of The Eddy. Light refreshments will also be provided.

Tickets are $30 for members and $35 for non-members and are available at rihs.org.
