Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum - Boston MA

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum offers a unique immersive experience of the events leading up to the American Revolution. Using the combination of dramatic town hall meetings of Old South Meeting House, tossing of the tea from the restored full rigged ship Elenore, interactive documentaries, and the display of historic artifacts, the museum reenacts key moments of the history behind the Boston Tea Party.

This was great!

The enthusiasm and passion of the cast working to bring this interactive experience alive is impressive, and the experience highlights how dedicated and passionate the founders of the country were about freedom and independence.

Amazingly enough, the museum has the only known crate remaining from the Boston Tea Party front and center in an interactive documentary area of the tour.

After the reenactment of the Tea Party, we took the pathway to Abigail’s Tea Room to taste the 5 historic tea varieties thrown overboard in 1773. Lee doesn’t like tea. And if these were my only choices, I wouldn’t like tea either. Not one of these teas was any good. But the hot buttered rum was delicious!
