The Tea Party in Dutches county will take place across from the historic site of another Tea Party that took place in 1776. Also known as the Wappinger Falls Tea Revolt, the event lasted three days and it involved, as the memorial plaque indicates 100 women. I can’t find much more than that on the subject but I thought it appropriate to mention considering that the modern day tea parties were also started by women , specifically Kelly Carender and friends. Thank God for conservative women!

Here is the Dutchess County Tourism’s Office description of the site:
4 MESIER PARK (NR) (L). The only real village green in Dutchess County has been a public park since ca. 1891 when Henry Mesier sold it to the village for $5000. Annual events focus around the band stand and benches along shaded paths. The BREWER-MESIER HOMESTEAD (L) (NR) was built by Nicholas Brewer ca. 1740 and later purchased by Peter Mesier. Victorian details disguise the 18th c. fieldstone core. Once the site of a riotous 3-day revolutionary era “Tea Party” over taxes.
This year’s Tea Party will take place on April 15 at 7pm here is where you can find more information on the Fishkills Tea Party 2009
