Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum
USA, Boston
The Boston Tea Party Ship Museum is located on the Congress Street Bridge and is dedicated to the history and details of the famous Boston Tea Party, an event that forever changed the course of American history. The museum has interactive exhibits, one of two authentic tea chests and two faithfully recreated ships - "Eleanor" and "Beaver". The museum tour is an educational and entertaining adventure tour designed to enable visitors to experience this event in the order it happened over 230 years ago, as well as learn more about the people and causes that led to the American Revolution. A fascinating tour of the museum is accompanied by live acting, high-tech interactive exhibits, faithfully recreated interiors of the rooms on the ships that carried tea, and a short documentary film "Let It Start Here". Museum visitors have the opportunity to meet American colonists, explore ships, and even throw tea overboard, as the Sons of Liberty did on the evening of December 16, 1773. The museum also has an Abigail tea shop and a gift shop.
