Why you should go…

Fraunces Tavern Museum occupies the upper floors of a 1719 building at Pearl and Broad Streets in the Financial District, owned by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York. Galleries across five connected 18th-century buildings hold Revolutionary-era documents, furnishings and objects tied to Washington and New York's role in the war, with the restored Long Room where Washington took leave of his officers in 1783 as the centerpiece. It is open daily from noon to 5pm with tickets sold at the second-floor desk; guided tours run Friday through Sunday, and a working tavern restaurant occupies the ground floor.
