You’ve heard of the Boston Tea Party¬¬ – but that wasn’t the only tea-related event that sparked the American Revolution 250 years ago. In the year or two before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, all sorts of revolutionary “tea parties” were taking place up and down the Atlantic Seaboard.
Join presenter Barbara McMichael at the Renton History Museum on Thursday, September 19, at 4:00 pm for “Tempests in Teapots,” an engaging, interactive history presentation and tea-tasting event that will shed light on how a simple temperance beverage – and all the people who loved to drink it – raised tempers enough to brew a revolution.
This event is suitable for ages 13 and up, and it is FREE. This project is being sponsored by a grant from the Renton Municipal Arts Commission and City of Renton.
However, space is limited and ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Please contact the Renton History Museum at [email protected].
