About the Tavern Week Events Passport
Tavern Week is a celebration of America’s historic taverns that takes place each September at Fraunces Tavern Museum. This year, we’re keeping it local and celebrating one of the oldest taverns in New York City all summer long with our Tavern Week Events Passport.
About Fraunces Tavern Museum
Fraunces Tavern Museum's mission is to preserve and interpret the history of the American Revolutionary era through public education. This mission is fulfilled through the interpretation and preservation of the Museum's collections, landmarked buildings and varied public programs that serve the community. You can stand in the room where General George Washington bid farewell to his officers and explore seven additional galleries that focus on America's War for Independence and the preservation of early American history.
