Washington's Farewell / Sunday, December 3, 2017 from 11am-5pm
George Washington bid an emotional adieu to his troops on December 4, 1783 at Fraunces Tavern (a stop on our Hamilton Happy Hour tour). Over 200 years later, you can hear it happen again at the same location thanks to a reenactment by actor Ian Kahn (who played Washington on the TV show Turn). Tickets to the event (and admission to the museum) are only $1 for this event but space is limited so get there early.
