프란시스 테번® 박물관

Fraunces Tavern® Museum’s role in the history of the United States is the stuff of legend. General George Washington – later of course to become the first President of the United States – used the tavern as a headquarters as America fought to break free from British rule.

Now a museum (and restaurant), it contains several thousand objects from the Revolutionary War and Colonial America, with around 400 on display at any one time. These include everything from fine works of art to period tables, chairs, teacups and private letters.

You can visit the room where Washington delivered his famous farewell to officers as the Revolution came to an end and even view a lock of his hair.
