👍👍 Fall Rendezvous and WWII weekends are fun. The "Rev War" is cool, and way uncrowded. Period actors and dedicated volunteers are all over. Food isn't great, but enough to keep you going. Mead and friendly folks make it a cultural must. Support local uniqueness!!!

Fraunces Tavern Museum

👍👍 A historical building that one might just walk on by, if not for the large historical plaques attached to the side, which harkens in its history. Fraunces Tavern served in many capacities during its history, but the one that made it most famous was when it served as the headquarters for George Washi...

👍👍 I didn't get to enter the house, but they had a re-enactment and life story accounting of Phillis Wheatley which was pretty good. If history was taught like this, it would have caught my attention more in school. Parking lot is limited but street parking shouldn't be a problem.
