The Road to Independence
250 years ago – 1773

1773 was a significant year for events leading up to the American Revolution. One event, however, was so enormous it made all other happenings during 1773 seem meniscal. The event’s name we remember that history recorded for American’s to never forget is the Boston Tea Party!
