This museum took you through the events of the Boston Tea Party in a very interactive way. Through actors dressed in period costume, the background to the events were explained and we were immersed into the events very effectively. It was amusing and informative and we were very impressed with the guys who took the acting roles. Being on board the replica ship was interesting and IT was used effectively to bring characters from the period back to life.

It was a cold, rainy, dreary day in April when we arrived a little early for the "show."
We were hungry so we went to the Abagail Adams Tea Room for some warming coffee and cookies and scones. Nice place. Good scones.

Then it was time for the show. As others have said, you go into a room of a meeting house and listen to them talk of the ships in the harbor and the taxes expected. Then you board the ship and a colonist inspires you to aid them in throwing the tea overboard. (But you have to pull it back in too!). I thought we were done after that but we were taken through two more displays to cover more of the history of this time.

We thoroughly enjoyed the immersion process and felt like hearing this information repeated throughout many of the sites we visited helped us put events in order for us. We also appreciated more historical facts instead of the information we have grown old with and assumed was factual.

It was well worth the cost of admission. Glad we did this.

Great to see, but had to be on a guided tour, no time to look around on your own, seems a bit over priced and the re-enactment was good, they were very loud, and felt more like it was for children. Felt we could have learnt more.
