Walk in the footsteps of history as the Old South Meeting House (refer to listing, page 49) and the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (refer to listing, page 44) celebrate the 241st anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, often considered the most important event leading up the American Revolution. On December 16 at 6:30 p.m., those with tickets (available at gottea.bpt.me) can grab a seat at the Old South Meeting House and witness a re-creation of the pivotal tea tax debate in the place where it actually happened. Then, at 7:30 p.m., the general public is invited to join a fife and drum band-led procession to the waterfront where re-enactors board the Beaver—a replica of one of the three ships involved in the original incident—at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum and dump real tea into the harbor as the crowd cheers on. As a new treat this year, the museum has collaborated with Harpoon Brewery (306 Northern Ave., 617-456-2322, harpoonbrewery.com) to create a limited-edition, tea-infused ale that is only available at the museum and the brewery. What better way for a thirsty revolutionary to unwind?
