Gem of the Prairie at Kickapoo Tea Room

Enjoy afternoon tea and program. This lunch will be a menu of heavy hors d'oeuvres and desserts. The program will center around the history of the Tea Room which is a former church and the the area of Downs, Illinois.

A dream was born when a charming 114 year old church building went up for sale in Downs, IL. Denise and Lisa decided this building would be the perfect place for a tearoom! The building is located near the Kickapoo Creek so the name of Kickapoo Tearoom was chosen. “We love the idea of bringing people together”. Tearooms are a place for friends and family to connect in an environment that is set apart from our hectic society. Denise and Lisa have worked to create a space that is warm, calm, and inviting to escape the world for a moment and just enjoy another’s company. These ladies both appreciate the French Provincial styling and had much fun in cultivating the atmosphere of their tearoom which feels elegant yet comfortable.

“Come and join us at our table to celebrate everyday life”
