The Princeton Tea Burning of January 1774

January 27 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

$5

Did you know that a month after the Boston Tea Party, the next colony to join in was New Jersey?

Join historians at Princeton Battlefield Park as they retell the story of the Boston Tea Party and its impact here in Princeton, where in January 1774 students collected tea from around the town and burned it in a great bonfire! Registered visitors will receive their own parcel of tea – and choose whether to cast it into the fire or bring it home for their own enjoyment. A suggested donation of $5 is requested, but not required.

Please register by calling 609-921-0074 or emailing us at princetonbattlefield@dep.nj.gov
