Tea time took place in colonial America and was held dear because of the high import costs of tea, coffee and chocolate. The Rising Sun Inn has a collection of colonial tea serving pieces, as well as a traditional tea caddy, which was kept locked by the lady of the house. Learn about this and more on a lovely guided tour following your tea!
Attendees will enjoy an Elevenses. Elevenses? What's that, you ask. Elevenses are a more casual, lighter affair with tea and sweets only. After enjoying tea time, guests will tour the Rising Sun Inn learning about its history and its role in Anne Arundel County History.

Enjoy a lovely cup of tea and tour the historic Rising Sun Inn!

  Join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn on April 29, 2023 when we welcome award winning author, Luke Salisbury with his book, No Common War. The book deals with issues that are fresh today—a family disagreeing on the rightness of going to war and the pain the family experiences when a son returns home, after being wounded in battle, struggling with PTSD. But No Common War isn’t about Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq, it’s about the Civil War and is based on Salisbury’s own family history. Moreau Salisbury was the author’s great-grandfather. The novel is based on actual events. ​

Come join the Friends of the Rising Sun Inn as they welcome Pasadena Paranormal back on Saturday, April 29th as they take you on a public paranormal tour of the Rising Sun Inn. They will attempt to communicate with the spirits tied to the Inn using the flashlight method, cat balls, multiple types of EMF and ultrasonic motion sensors. They will also try to capture visual evidence with the SLS camera and Infrared cameras. Sit in and conduct your own ITC sessions with the Echovox and Pasadena Paranormal ghost box and see if you can connect with the spirits with some real time communication. Tour with experienced investigators. Bring your own equipment and conduct your own investigation as well. This is a highly active location so the tour should be a good one!
