Annual Lexington Tea Party Reenactment
On December 13, 1773, three days before the Boston Tea Party, the Lexington Town Meeting concluded a multi-day debate with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea. A crowd built a bonfire behind the meeting house and proceeded to burn all of the town’s tea.
Each year, the town of Lexington reenacts this event and celebrates the importance of tea in the Revolution. Come to the Buckman Tavern on December 14 from 12 pm to 3 pm and meet with the Lexington residents of 1773 to hear their side of the story, find out where tea comes from, and end the day by gathering around the fire and burning tea!
