ONLINE Steeped in Secrecy: The Boston Tea Party, 250 Years Later

The story of tea has always been infused with intrigue, particularly when it became a flash point for tensions between England and Colonial America. Learn about the brewing political problems tea presented in its history with Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans. Next, 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 bonafide participants through lineage societies and historical groups.

Our presenter is Claire Evans of Tea with Claire and Debra Dudek, a genealogist.
