Experience a timeless blend of traditional tea paired with a historic journey on a vintage train at Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. Located in Chattanooga, the trip is just two hours away and is the perfect way to celebrate a special birthday, anniversary, or just a relaxing day. Tea is served on fine china with exquisite linen and lace tablecloths. Some attendees dress in Victorian attire with long dresses and large hats but there is no dress code required. The tea occurs most every weekend and some weekdays at 11:00 AM.

As far back as he can remember, Alva Cunningham always wanted to be a train engineer.
He was fascinated by trains, particularly steam-powered locomotives, and has collected steam whistles since the age of 15. He says it’s been “in his blood” his whole life.
