Teddy Bear Tea
The first stuffed bear was made by Margarete Steiff for her nephew after they visited a zoo in 1903, 120 years ago—for her nephew after a visit to a zoo. The bear toys were named Teddy Bears by Morris Michtom, after he was inspired by a caricature drawn of President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear on a hunting trip in Mississippi on November 14,1902.
Perhaps your favorite teddy bear—stuffed or live—would enjoy Worcester Historical Museum’s Teddy Bear Tea on December 2. Call 508.753.8278 for reservations and more information.
