On Thursday, December 5, 2024, guests are invited to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Georgetown Tea Party at the Georgetown County Museum, 120 Broad Street, Georgetown, SC. The museum will open its doors at 5:30 p.m. to allow guests to view and experience the American Revolutionary War travel exhibit while enjoying colonial music and light colonial fare before noted historian and author Ron Bridwell sets the stage for the Georgetown Tea Party by speaking at 7:00 p.m. He will explain how tensions were mounting in the colonies, including the Georgetown area, that led to the strong feelings that erupted in December 1774 with Georgetown’s own tea party.
After placing a ceremonial teacup on the Museum’s already teacup-laden tree, Georgetown County 250 Committee Board Member Phil Phillips will lead the processional down Broad Street to the Harbor Walk to view the reenactment of the Georgetown Tea Party. Photo opportunities and Certificates of participation will be available for the families who portray the members of the Georgetown Committee of Observation.
Copies of That We Should Have A Port, Ron’s history of the Port of Georgetown, SC 1732 – 2018, will be available for purchase, and the author will be available for a book-signing.
