Join Fraunces Tavern Museum and Fraunces Tavern Restaurant and Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York for a grand birthday celebration, honoring the 300th anniversary of the construction of 54 Pearl Street. There will be hors d’oeuvres, drinks, a champagne toast, live 18th century music on genuine colonial instruments, and, of course, a birthday cake!
About the building: Built in 1719 and transformed into a tavern by Samuel Fraunces in 1762, Fraunces Tavern was a popular watering hole for the Nation’s founding fathers and Sons of Liberty during the Revolutionary War. The Fraunces Tavern 300th Birthday Celebration commemorates this illustrious history as well as the building’s many past lives as some of the Nation’s first congressional offices, a boarding house, and its current role as a thriving Museum and restaurant.
Enjoy a special edition guided tour, exclusive access to the Museum’s newest exhibition, A Monument to Memory: 300 Years of Living History, live musical performances, and a special 18th century cocktail, The Charleston Light Dragoon Punch (1792).
