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.

Tickets

  • Lecture, tea, mince pie

    Enjoy: *** The lecture on the Boston Tea Party and its context *** Tastings of four of the teas tossed into Boston Harbor *** A mini mince pie, reminiscent of a colonial tea time snack
