Commemorate the 251st anniversary of the Boston Tea Party with a world-class reenactment of the Meeting of the Body of the People at Old South Meeting House!Experience this pivotal moment in our nation’s history as you watch the vigorous debate that led to the destruction of tea on December 16, 1773.
Join Revolutionary Spaces in the room where it all happened—Old South Meeting House!
As the largest indoor gathering space in colonial Boston, this building hosted a number of meetings about what to do with the East India Tea Company tea sitting in Boston Harbor waiting to be unloaded and taxed.
On that fateful night, a purported 5,000 men gathered for this final meeting about the controversial tea tax, resulting in Samuel Adams giving the signal that would start the Boston Tea Party.
Frustrated and angry, colonists marched to Griffin’s Wharf and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor—a major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists and a spark for the American Revolution.
All tickets are general admission and seating for the reenactment is first come, first serve.
We cannot guarantee that groups will sit together.
Your ticket also includes FREE admission to both of Revolutionary Spaces’ sites, the Old State House and Old South Meeting House, from Saturday, December 14th through Monday, December 16th (a $15 value)!
