The actors were charming and enthusiastic. The children and those young at heart enjoyed throwing boxes or tea overboard.

This tour is more than just throwing tea into the harbor. The employees are dressed up in character which helps take you back in time. The other exhibits in the museum help paint the picture of the political tension leading up to the revolutionary war.
