There is no exact known location, but the most probable location of the Boston Tea party that you referred to would have to be the old Griffin's Wharf. Unfortunatly this no longer exists in Boston today.

The colonists had received help from the British during the French and Indian Wars to keep those two groups from taking over the Northern parts of what is now the US. When the British taxed them to pay for the considerable expense, the colonists didn't want to pay the tax and started a tax rebellion which has been rewritten as a Revolution.
