Until you have the opportunity to work on a film set, you have no idea what goes into making a movie. That being said, the film for the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum, Let It Begin Here, is ready for guests to watch when we open on June 25. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes piece of the making of Let It Begin Here.
On Sunday, January 26, the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum was featured on a segment with NBC’s Tom Costello about the warm weather in Boston and how that has really benefited our construction. Just in case you missed or would like to see it again, here it is.

I don’t know about you, but I have a whole new appreciation for sculpting. The rubbering process was a three day process and is now complete. Next up for Capt. Parker is casting of a mold out of plaster. Stay tuned!
We knew Susie Chisholm was talented but this takes the cake, or in our case the teapot. See if you can spot the teapot on Capt. Parker’s Jacket.
I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Boston and on my way home stopped off in one of my favorite cities, Savannah, GA, to see Susie Chisholm. As you know if you follow this blog, Susie has been sculpting Capt. John Parker, who will be bronzed and greet guests as the enter the Minuteman Theater at the new Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum. Capt. Parker is just about complete save for his hands. Well here they are! Be sure to check out Capt. Parker’s really cool weapons.
Remember when the Capt. Parker Minuteman statue was just a glimmer in Susie Chisholm’s eye?
Well, Capt. Parker is just about done and we can’t wait to see him in bronze!
In building construction there is always a topping off ceremony when the roof is completed. It started with wood frame buildings and the tradition continues on even with steel structures. We took this a step further on December 16 (if that date sounds familiar it should since it was the 238th anniversary of the original Boston Tea Party) and topped off the roof with the cupola and our new tea pot weather vane. We were joined at the event by our partners Suffolk Construction and Boston Properties and following the event, Smith & Wollensky hosted us for a lovely reception. Watch it all right here.
The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum is pleased to have Elizabeth Carey on board as the Director of Sales and Marketing. Elizabeth brings years of sales experience with her as the past publisher of Where Magazine in Boston.
Our Capt. Parker’s attire is nearing completion. But what is an outfit without the perfect pair of shoes? Check out Susie’s!
It’s hard to believe it has only been seven months since construction began. We’ve got a couple of great videos for you to see what a great job Suffolk Construction has done!
