Purchased in the 1760’s by Samuel Fraunces, a tavern keeper of African American and French descent, this tavern became one of New York’s finest dining establishments. Though it is best known as the site where Washington bade farewell to the officers of the Continental Army in 1783, the tavern also played a significant role in pre-Revolutionary activities. It was one of the meeting places of the Sons of Liberty in the pre-war years. There are numerous exhibits dating back to before the Revolutionary War on display.
