Fodor's Review:

Originally a customs house with a waterside entrance, this building was used by the British to house prisoners during the Revolutionary War. Today costumed guides bring the Revolutionary era to life.

Cost: $7

Reviewed by bachslunch from US on 3/31/09
A former customs house with a basement dungeon, has some historic information and artifacts. Tour is given of the dungeon as it's dark and the floor's uneven, otherwise self-guided. Has staff in period costume on site. Not bad, if maybe a bit less essential than some other area historic buildings.
