ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: https://teawithclaire.com/events/#Boston-tea-party. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants who are not coming to the in-person Library event will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.

The story of tea has always been infused with intrigue, particularly when it became a flash point for tensions between England and Colonial America. On the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773), learn about the brewing political problems tea presented in its history with Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans. Then, author, genealogist, librarian, and former UK resident Debra Dudek examines the history of the Boston Tea Party’s most famous partiers (and phonies), as well as how to trace bona fide participants through lineage societies and historical groups.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Sandwich Public Library and the Dunbar House Tea Room.
