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 Kent History Museum on Saturday, October 19, at 10:30 a.m. 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, thanks to the sponsorship of the City of Kent Arts Commission. However, space is limited and ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Registration available here or by contacting the Kent History Museum at [email protected] or (253) 854-4330.
