Echoes from the Parlor: A Victorian Tea Experience

About Echoes from the Parlor:
A Victorian Tea Experience

Step into the enchanted world of Victorian elegance at the historic Briggle House, where the walls still whisper tales of sparkling soirées! In the dawn of the 20th century, Mr. and Mrs. William Briggle transformed their parlor into Breckenridge’s social heart, hosting everything from intimate teas to lively church gatherings. Their legendary hospitality set the town abuzz – and now, we’re rekindling that same magical atmosphere with our authentic Victorian tea experiences.
