Description
Hiwan Homestead Museum is hosting a Valentine's Tea on Monday, February 14 at 11:30 A.M. Please join us for a relaxing lunchtime tea to celebrate the romance of Valentine's Day. A special historical vignette of Baby Doe Tabor, presented by Barbara Daubenspeck, will follow the tea.
Entitled "Million Dollar Baby", Daubenspeck's program chronicles the rags-to-riches-and-back-again story of Colorado's legendary "Silver Queen", Baby Doe Tabor. Elizabeth McCourt, or Baby Doe as she is best remembered, married the "Silver King" Horace Tabor of Leadville, one of the wealthiest men in the country, and became part of one of the most famous love triangles in all of Colorado history.
Barbara Daubenspeck is well known throughout Colorado for her portrayals of the famous and not-so famous women in Colorado and United States history. Her presentations cover many facets of life and promise an entertaining and enlightening experience.
A suggested donation for the tea is $15.00 for the general public; $12.00 for Jefferson County Historical Society Members; and $12.00 per person for groups of 4 or more. Registration is required; for registration or information call the Museum at 720-497-7650.
