The MISSING Boston Tea Party…

There is so much to do here that you can literally spend at least a week here.

(Two good resources regarding this event are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party and http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/teaparty.htm)
As the map indicated a Boston Tea Party museum and ship at the bridge (Congress Street), we were excited to ‘experience’ this historic event.
