Please call to arrange for a private tea party for your groups or parties. We have a full range of tea party edibles and libations we can offer to enhance any themed party event and bring to the next level.
What is a Cream Tea? Glad you asked…..You will have an unlimited fill of tea that includes many varieties, a homemade scone with incredible jam and curdled cream. Everything that is served is made fresh and from organic sources.
Since we can not all be in Europe right now for high tea, this is the closest we can get to a tea tradition, then throw in the Mansion and it is an over the top experience.
All proceeds are considered donations towards the continued preservation of the Historic Logan Mansion in the coolest part of downtown Shreveport.
Thank you for your support!

Spring Street Museum
Go back in time to the early days of Shreveport; learn about life in a rough and tumble western town, walk the muddy streets and learn about the men and women who made Shreveport the timber, cotton, and oil capital of the region.
Learn about the Great Raft, our heroes and zeroes, the ladies of the evening with hearts of gold, the Yellow Fever epidemic that nearly wiped us off the map, giant fires, gunfights in the street and local architectural wonders.
This amazing amount of information is all housed in one of the oldest buildings in the city, former bank, former bar, now museum. We guarantee you will leave saying “I never knew that” but wanting to know even more!

Purrassic Park 2020 Fundraiser

Animal controls fill up fast, and we try to take in as many as we can to save them! Each cat costs us on average $150 to $250 , and could be much more if there are medical issues to treat. Please help us save these cats!
Cost: $30 for Meal, T shirt, Beer/drink, free raffle ticket or $15 for shirt only. $20 for children (Meal, T Shirt, Drink)
Food: Red River Brewing Co has it’s own restaurant with a new menu coming in July!
