Celebrate the mothers in your life at Meadow Brook.

Treat your mother to an exquisite tea at the Great Estate, filled with a delectable collection of sweets and savories. This beautiful event also features a self-guided tour of the historic mansion and a flower for mom. Set in our breathtaking Dining Room, our annual Mother’s Day experience is a lovely way to start the spring season and spend time with those you love!

Mother’s Day is a special time at Meadow Brook. Our matriarch, Matilda Dodge Wilson, was devoted to her family. She was a mother, stepmother, adoptive mother and grandmother. We hope you join us in wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, moms-to-be, adoptive and foster moms, grandmas, and more, all working to raise happy and healthy children. Tickets must be booked in advance.
