What happened in December of 1773 in the Boston Harbor is known as one of the most important events in the history of the USA.

The Boston Tea Party took place on December 16, 1773—and now you can travel back in time to be a part of all the action.

In addition to the museum, visit our breathtaking Abigail’s Tea Room where you can enjoy freshly baked goods, lunch items, and a spot of tea and learn more about the types of tea thrown overboard in 1773. And don’t miss our enchanting Gift Shop chock full of gems to bring back home!
