1773 - Boston Tea Party

Join us to learn what happened in the winter of 1773 in the Boston Harbor and what did Dartmouth, Eleanor and the Beaver have to do with it?

Bring your favorite tea cup and an optional snack to share - and we'll have a tea party while we discuss the Boston Tea Party.

In retaliation, Britain punished the colonies with passage of the Coercive Acts, which closed Boston Harbor (curtailing free elections in Massachusetts), removed colonial judicial authority to Britain, and effectively instituted martial law.

What did Benjamin Franklin and George Washington think?
Hope to see you there.
