The Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773) was an event wreathed in secrecy. John Adams said he never knew any person who was involved in the destruction of the East India Company tea. Yet as time passed and the American Republic seemed secure, participants claimed, were identified or admitted to being part of the tea's destruction. In preparation for the 250th Anniversary in December 2023, The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum is attempting to identify mark the graves of all known participants of the Boston Tea Party. Kristin Harris, Research Co-ordinator for the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum, joins us to talk about this project.
