Storm Aboard the 18th Century Brig Beaver or Eleanor.

Experience life at sea aboard an 18th-century sailing vessel as you join a Son of Liberty and take part in the “Destruction of the Tea”! Throw tea into the very same body of water where the Boston Tea Party took place over 240 years ago.

The Robinson Tea Chest.

Protected and preserved for more than two centuries, the Robinson Tea Chest is the only known surviving tea chest from the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Hear the compelling history of this significant artifact from its humble beginnings in China through the Boston Tea Party and being handed down through the generations. The Robinson Tea Chest is proudly displayed at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum from the permanent collections of Historic Tours of America, Inc.

The comfortable charm of another era, wonderful waterfront and skyline views, a friendly welcome from colonial tea ladies and reasonably priced menu choices make Abigail’s the perfect place to pause for a relaxing break. Sample up to five different teas with a historic twist, a glass of refreshing lemonade or cool iced tea, a mug of hot or cold apple cider, and hard-to-resist tasty treats: assorted scones, cookies, brownies, muffins and pies. Or, join us at lunch time for a variety of delicious sandwiches, salads, chowders, seasonal soups and mac ‘n cheese. Adults looking for a beverage a bit stronger than tea are pleased to see that Abigail’s serves beers from Boston’s own Harpoon Brewery as well as “Dark and Stormy’s” and red or white wines. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the special ambiance of Abigail’s Tea Room & Terrace – it hits the spot!
