On December 16, 1773, American colonists donned crude Native American disguises, boarded ships, and tossed hundreds of chests packed with tea into Boston Harbor. Pictured above, David Kennison helped transform this colonial protest—one of many in the 1770s— into a foundational moment of the American Revolution. In the 1840s, Kennison told visitors to Mr. Mooney’s “Chicago Museum” that he was the last living participant of the Boston Tea Party, regaling them with stories about the nation's war for independence. But was Kennison *really* a century-old revolutionary? On the blog, our curator digs into Kennison's personal history, as well as the larger story of how the Boston Tea Party became such a prominent part of our nation's founding story.
