As we finalize details for our Sunday, November 17, 2024 Thanksgiving Tea. We are sharing some updated event information with you which will override what was originally sent out in our fall newsletter:
The Thanksgiving Tea has two components:
2PM - a tour of the Higgs House (1112 Dickinson Avenue) and then at 3 PM a reception at the Music House (408 W Fifth Street).
The Pitt County Historical Society is delighted to host our annual Thanksgiving Tea on November 17, 2024 at the Music House. The Music House, is a Victorian home--one of the oldest in Greenville--which has been meticulously preserved and decorated in period style by owner John O’Brien. As part of this year’s tea, guests will have the opportunity to visit the Higgs House, which is the companion house to the Music House, and learn more about the history of the two homes and the families who lived in them. Parking is available in the Greenville Utilities Lot immediately adjacent to The Music House. Individuals interested in a tour of the Higgs House will meet at the Higgs House at 2:00 pm before returning to the Moye House (Music House) for a program on the two houses. Refreshments will be served around 3pm.
2PM - If you plan to tour the Higgs House, please arrive at the House at 2:00 pm. Parking is available on Pennsylvania Ave, which is adjacent to the House. Please note that the Higgs House has been abandoned for some time and lighting will be limited.
3PM - If you plan to attend the reception, please arrive at the Music House at 3:00 pm. Parking is available in the Greenville Utilities Lot adjacent to the Music House.
We thank you for your membership in the Historical Society. If you know anyone who may be interested in joining us, please invite them to attend. We look forward to seeing you on November 17.
