Fodor's Review:
In his pre-presidential days as a general, George Washington celebrated the end of the Revolutionary War here in 1783, delivering a farewell address 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 family programs (such as crafts workshops), lectures, and concerts.
