🎭 Boston Tea Party 250th Anniversary: Free Museum Day! 🎉

On December 16, 1773, the Boston Tea Party 🍵 became a spark for American independence. Here’s the tea (pun intended 😉): ⚖️ Taxation Without Representation: Britain slapped steep taxes on tea, letting the East India Company flood colonies with cut-rate tea. Colonists flipped their wigs 🤬—this wasn’t just about caffeine; it was about freedom! 🚢 The Dump Heard ‘Round the World: On that icy night, rebels dressed as Mohawk warriors 🗡️ boarded British ships and chucked 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. Chaos? Yes. Revolutionary? Absolutely. 💥 🏛️ Boston Tea Party Museum: Located at Fort Point Channel, this museum is a time machine ⏳. Reenactments, role-play, and a “tea dump” simulation make history interactive. (P.S. Today’s free? Couldn’t check the boat tours, but the exhibits alone are worth it!) 🎫 Fun Fact: At $34, tickets ain’t cheap. But today? Zero dollars! 💸 🛍️ Souvenir Saga: Bought magnets, mugs, and a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag. Flipped them over… “Made in China” 😅. Hey, at least I’m boosting Sino-U.S. trade! 🇨🇳🇺🇸 Takeaway: Celebrate rebellion, learn history, and flex your frugal skills. 🦅 #BostonHistory #TeaParty250 #FreeMuseumDay
