About the event
Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party at the Holladay House with a history lecture, tastings of the teas involved, and a mini mince pie!
Learn:
* Why England was taxing tea delivered to the colonies.
* What teas were thrown into Boston Harbor, and what they taste like.
* Why only Boston's fall 1773 tea shipment got dumped, and not the tea that went to New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.
* How the Boston Tea Party contributed to Canada remaining attached to England instead of pursuing independence with the thirteen colonies.
