Downton Abbey-Inspired Weekend

Governor's House in Hyde Park 100 Main St, Hyde Park

Maybe you can't spend the weekend at Downton Abbey, but you can spend it in a stately mansion with a marble vestibule and fireplaces in the bedrooms. Attend a comfortable dinner with a detailed explanation of table settings, etiquette history, and properly managing everything from unfolding a napkin to holding your coffee cup. Gain new appreciation for the downstairs staff by decanting through a silver funnel or serving the sauce, all in a dining room
