A Cup of Tea<\/h1>\n

\"Kitchen<\/a>We are having balmy January days here in Nebraska, but people in colder parts of the country may be glad to know that January is National Hot Tea Month. While there are only a few days left in the month, a hot cup of tea is always a good way to ward off the winter chill. A look through Nebraska Memories reveals that tea has been a part of people\u2019s lives for many years.<\/p>\n

Tea cups are featured on this Fremont family\u2019s table<\/a> as they gather in their kitchen for a meal. Photographs from the William Wallace residence in Omaha show a tea kettle in the kitchen<\/a> and silver tea sets \"Dining<\/a>in the dining room<\/a> and parlor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although there may not have been actual tea involved, in my opinion, some of the sweetest tea-related pictures in Nebraska Memories are the images of children having tea parties. There are several posed portraits of children with tea sets<\/a> in the Butler County Gallery collection<\/a>, including this photograph<\/a> of Dorothy Rich sitting with a doll and a stuffed bunny. The \"Dorothy<\/a>Nebraska State Historical Society collection<\/a> includes a less formal image of children playing with a tea set<\/a> in a barn.<\/p>\n

Visit Nebraska Memories<\/a> to search for or browse through many more historical images digitized from photographs, negatives, postcards, maps, lantern slides, books and other materials.<\/p>\n
