Fraunces Tavern Museum
Fraunces Tavern Museum Review
In his pre-presidential days as a general, George Washington celebrated the end of the Revolutionary War here in 1783, bidding a farewell to his officers upon the British evacuation of New York. Today the former tavern is a museum covering two floors above a restaurant and bar. It has two fully furnished period rooms—including the Long Room, site of Washington's address—and other modest displays of 18th- and 19th-century American history. The museum also hosts lectures. After both the bar and restaurant were closed for almost a year, 2011 has seen the reopening of the bar, the Rum House, with the restaurant supposedly following soon.
