INFORMATION FOR
In 2009 the Hobart Manor Revitalization Committee kicked off their annual signature event, the Sunday Tea at Hobart Manor, to bring alumni and community friends onto William Paterson University’s beautiful campus, to experience the breathtaking showpiece that is Hobart Manor, and to learn more about the history of Passaic County. The Annual event takes place annually on the first Sunday in June and includes a guest lecturer addressing topics relevant to Passaic County and its inhabitants, followed by the Tea in Hobart Manor. Lectures are in partnership with the County of Passaic. Information on this year’s Tea is below.

“Table Talks”: Conversations about Revolutionary Social and Culinary Spaces
Join us for a lively roundtable discussion about the ways in which revolutionary ideas circulated over food, drink, and social spaces. From informal chats around tea tables to formal diplomatic dinners, social gatherings played central roles in shaping support for or against the American Revolution. Our panel of experts explore how the conversations and culinary arts helped to forge political loyalties and identities.
