A birthday, Tea Time Tour for 14 year old, Seneca Maddocks Wilbur.
|
A Birthday Celebration at Woodlawn in July
When Rebecca Maddocks Wilbur asked her daughter, Seneca what she would like to do to celebrate her 14th birthday, she was a bit surprised by her response, "Visit Woodlawn and tour the Black House." And, when they learned that Seneca's birthday actually fell on a Tea Time Tour day, it put the icing on the cake. Seneca had visited the property a number of times, sledding, walking the trails and on a school trip and wanted to learn more as she enjoys visiting landmarks in the area and has a fondness for history. Happy Birthday, Seneca and thank you for sharing your day with us!
