On this day 250 years ago the Citizens of the Town of Lexington, Massachusetts adopt a resolution pledging not to drink “tea of all sorts” and further that “We shall be ready to Sacrifice our Estates and everything dear in Life, Yea and Life itself, in support of the common Cause.” Three days later the people of Lexington burned a large stock of tea in the town square. Lexington’s role in Revolutionary history as the site of the first tea party would be eclipsed a year and a half later by the events on Lexington Commons that proved the Patriots of that Town honored their pledge.
