Fraunces Tavern Museum
Historic tavern and museum of American Revolution history.
Fraunces Tavern Museum is a must-visit for anyone exploring the cultural heart of Financial District / Battery Park. Permanent collections, rotating exhibitions and immersive programming make it one of the most rewarding ways to spend half a day in New York — especially on a hot or rainy afternoon.
Timed-entry tickets are strongly recommended, particularly on weekends and during school holidays. Booking online lets you skip the on-site queue and secure your preferred entry slot. Allow 2–3 hours for a focused visit, longer if you want to explore the special exhibitions in depth.
