Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
This Boston attraction is an interactive, floating museum, located on the Congress Street Bridge. It was given that name in honor of a Sons of Liberty protest that took place on December 16, 1773. The Beaver and Eleanor, two replica ships from the era, are in the collection of this Boston museum. It also holds one tea chest from the original event.
Visiting this museum is a unique experience that you’ve ever experienced before. You'll experience a variety of sights, sounds, and sensations, including live performances, cutting-edge, fascinating collections, restored tea ships, and the moving documentary "Let it Begin Here."
The museum puts on displays holographic and films for its visitors, 3D reenactments, and has Abigail’s Tea Room, where you can taste one of the five original tea flavors thrown overboard in addition to other historically inspired foods and beverages. The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum also commemorates this important colonial act by explaining the taxation without representation that led to the event and how it helped act as a catalyst of war, so you get a lot of information as well as real-world experience.
The tour of the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum lasts about an hour. The tour offers you the chance to investigate and learn about the individuals and occasions that contributed to the American Revolution in the chronological order in which they actually took place more than 230 years ago. This is one of the best museums in Boston, Massachusetts, to visit if you love history and want to learn more about Boston's rich heritage.
