YPSILANTI, Mich. – On Sunday, stop by The Newton of Ypsilanti for an afternoon of WWII history and tea.

The Newton’s chef Allison Anastasio will supply tea and treats during the event.
The “fireside chat” is meant to be reminiscent of the wartime talks made popular during WWII by former United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Tickets cost around $60 each and can be bought online here.
The Newton is at 220 S. Huron St., in Ypsilanti.
