Frances Tavern
Description
Returning to Pearl Street near the Battery and walking up it a short distance one comes to Frances Tavern at Broad Street, where Washington bade farewell to his officers, 1783. Immediately afterward Washington embarked on a barge at Whitehall Ferry on his way to Annapolis to resign his commission. The "Long Room" in which the leave-taking ceremony took place has been restored to its colonial appearance and beauty by the Sons of the Revolution who have purchased the building and are preserving it. In it is a museum of interesting Revolutionary relics and a restaurant.
