Old South Meeting House: Boston Tea Party 252nd Anniversary Commemoration

On one fateful night in December 1773, a cry for liberty echoed through the Old South Meeting House—now, 252 years later, the spirit of revolution rings through Boston once more. Commemorate the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party with an unforgettable live reenactment of the Meeting of the Body of the People—held in the very room where it all began.
