Celebrate the Irish during Tiffin Historic Trust’s first-ever St. Paddy’s Day Tea at 12:30 p.m., March 12, 2022 at the Grammes-Brown House, 172 Jefferson St., Tiffin.  Pianist, singer, songwriter Mimi Lange Johnston will select songs from her extensive repertoire and invites the guests to join her in singing while she accompanies herself on the piano.

Lange Johnston is the current Director of the Franciscan Earth Literacy Center.  A Calvert High School graduate, she studied piano performance at Ashland University and vocal pedagogy at Northeastern Illinois University.  While in Chicago she worked for an advertising agency, won a Cleo award, and performed at many venues.  A musician and songwriter, she wrote and produced a children’s album.  She and her family moved to Nashville where she served as the Department Chair of Music and Theatre at the Franklin Christian Academy in Tennessee.  She recently moved back to Tiffin where she has performed at The Empire 138, IronWood Steakhouse and was a favorite when she performed in 2019 at the Grammes-Brown House for a Valentine’s Tea. 

In addition to tea, the guests at the St. Paddy’s Day program will enjoy a variety of Irish themed savory and sweet treats.  Tiffin Historic Trust members and friends will serve the guests their refreshments on Miss Rosina Brown’s family china, including her fancy teacups.  Those wishing to tour the Victorian-era home can browse the rooms before or after the event.
