Historic Dinners & Teas

Each year, Living History Farms invites guests to dinner at one of the museum’s historic homes. Much more than a meal, you’ll step back in time to get a glimpse of life in the past and a taste of history!

Age recommendations are based on the length of time guests are expected to remain seated at a table. Any child who will not be held in a lap will require a ticket.

Remaining available seating at 2021-22 Historic Dinners is limited to 1 or 2 guests. For parties larger than 2 people, please watch for dinners to resume in fall 2022. (Note: A red box on the ticket calendar means that date is sold out. Dinners with available spots will show as green on the ticket calendar.)
