The Boston Harbor wasn’t the only site of tea-related rebellion in the colonial era, and the residents of Lexington have once again honored their forefathers with a reenactment.
The townspeople of Lexington on Dec. 13, 1773, “three days before the Boston Tea Party,” the Lexington Historical Society reminds us, the town meeting concluded “with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea.”
“The crowd spilled out onto the common behind the meeting house and made a bonfire, throwing the entire town’s supply of tea into it,” the Society’s entry on the reenactment states.
On Saturday, the current Lexington townsfolk dressed in period-appropriate attire and reenacted the moment.
