Where

Senate House State Historic Site
296 Fair St, Kingston, NY, 12401

Event Type

Stop by the Senate House grounds on Friday, September 5, from 2:00pm-4:00pm, to enjoy a sip of tea! Tea was introduced to Britain in the early 1700’s and quickly gained popularity among the British and their colonies. Tea had become such a staple in colonial homes that once the Tea Act of 1773 was placed by the British Parliament, it ended up becoming one of the contributing factors leading up to American Revolutionary War.

Site staff will host a table outside on our grounds with some free samples of tea that visitors can enjoy and learn the history surrounding tea. This family friendly drop-in activity is free, weather dependent and runs while supplies last.
