Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial

Member Rating: ** 2.0 | Rate It

Fodor's Review:

A Polish general who later became a national hero in his homeland, Kosciuszko came to the United States in 1776 to help fight in the Revolution; he distinguished himself as one of the first foreign volunteers in the war. The plain three-story brick house, built around 1776, has a portrait gallery; you can also view a six-minute film (in English and Polish) that portrays the general's activities during the Revolution.

Another little historic set of rooms

Posted by bachslunch from US on 10/20/08
A modest historic house, pretty much modernized inside except for a recreation of Kosciuszko's rooms. Short hours.
