The New Jersey Greenwich Tea Party
As we all learned in school, The Boston Tea Party is a well-known rebellious act in the American fight for freedom. But did you know there were many such rebellious “tea parties” throughout the colonies, one of which occurred in 1774 in the southern New Jersey village of Greenwich.
For the 250th Anniversary of the New Jersey Tea Burnings, learn about the Greenwich Tea Party and the importance this area of the state has played in industry, agriculture, and manufacturing from colonial times.
Judith Krall–Russo has enjoyed a lifelong love of foods, especially embracing the rich agriculture of her home state – New Jersey. Also, a tea expert and historian, she began studying the customs and traditions of this universal beverage 30 years ago and has earned certifications as a Tea Specialist by The Tea School in Pomfret, Connecticut and The Specialty Tea Institute of New York.
The Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association and Raritan Historic and Cultural Committee cosponsor this program at Raritan Public Library.
