Boston Tea Party Ship

Category: Waterfront

The Boston Tea Party Ship is currently closed for renovation and Will reopen in the Summer of 2009.

This defining event in United States history, the spark that ignited the American Revolution, is the theme of the Boston Tea Party Shipssm & Museum. While the design of the Museum is new, the history of the facility is considerably longer. The Museum was established in 1973 and was designated by the City as the officially recognized site to commemorate the Boston Tea Party event. Since this dedication, the site has hosted millions of heritage visitors and students seeking to relive American history. Through the years the site has also been used for reenactments of the event each December 16th, and as a staging area for tax protests, political events, and important announcements.

It is the goal of Historic Tours of America® to immerse Boston residents, heritage visitors, and students in the historical experiences and important events of and around December 16th 1773, to tell the stories of the participating men and their families, and to reinforce the way that the Boston Tea Party changed the lives of American’s forever. Indeed in bringing to life this historic event we feel that we have a responsibility and a commitment to historic preservation, heritage education, and the advancement of patriotic ideals.
