Built in 1719, Fraunces Tavern was once a meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, a site for trials that helped lead to the emancipation of thousands of Black Loyalists, and the setting for Washington’s farewell to his officers. Two hundred fifty years later, this guided tour explores this rich history, including the new special exhibition, Path to Liberty: The Emergence of a Nation, which commemorates the United States Semiquincentennial. On this tour, you’ll learn the stories of everyday people fighting for their beliefs—including our own revolutionary tavernkeeper, Samuel Fraunces.
Through personal letters, artifacts, and works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection, we’ll paint a picture of the Revolutionary War’s early defining moments, with a special focus on what happened right here in New York City.
