Go back in time for an evening of Victorian delicacy. Join The Historic Vistula Foundation, for a 14-course Victorian meal inside the lovingly restored Matthew Brown House. Native New Yorker Matthew Brown moved to Toledo in the 1850s and built the sprawling estate in 1865, complete with 8 fireplaces and fantastic decor. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted with a delicious champagne punch, followed by main courses and wine pairings inside the dining room. The meal will conclude with a frozen rum punch, originally a dinner staple served by Mrs. Robert E. Lee. Guests will wind down the evening in the parlor with coffee and spirits with piano accompaniment. Proceeds benefit the Historic Vistula Foundation and its focus on historic building preservation in North Toledo. Reservations required.
