•  Steeped in Secrecy: The Boston Tea Party, 250 Years Later | Saturday, December 16, 2PM | Virtual

Then, author, genealogist, librarian, and former UK resident Debra Dudek examines the history of the Boston Tea Party’s most famous partiers (and phonies), as well as how to trace bona fide participants through lineage societies and historical groups.
