Description
Any Bostonian will tell you, there is little one can do when it comes to high taxes in Massachusetts. But in 1773, when colonists were steamed about the British tax on their tea, they disguised themselves as American Indians and destroyed the tea on three British ships. This protest may have helped spark the Revolutionary War. At this museum you can explore a replica of a British ship and relive a bit of the "party" by tossing your own bale of tea into the water. Admission is USD8 for adults, USD7 for students and USD4 for ages 4-12.
