Description
The Fraunces Tavern was a favored watering hole for those Founding Fathers who lived here in New York before and during the Revolutionary War. The Fraunces Tavern Museum is now celebrating that history with its new exhibit, "Path to Liberty: The Emergence of a Nation." The exhibit contains objects that help tell the story of the American Revolution in NYC, and in the Fraunces Tavern specifically. Scott Dwyer, executive director of the Fraunces Tavern Museum, and collections manager Lisa Goulet, discuss the history, the exhibit and what it means to run a working restaurant in a historical landmark.
