The Renton History Museum is hosting a pilot project for America’s 250th anniversary titled “Tempests in Teapots” of special interest to educators.
The Boston Tea Party was not the only tea-related event that sparked the American Revolution—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.
Thursday, September 19th at 4:00 p.m. join presenter Barbara McMichael for “Tempests in Teapots,” an interactive history presentation with tea-tasting that will shed light on how a simple beverage raised tempers enough to brew a revolution. Event takes place at the museum.

Pre-registration is required at Eventbrite.
