Fraunces Tavern in the Financial District is a museum and restaurant in a building that claims to be Manhattan's oldest, tied to George Washington, who bade farewell to his officers in its Long Room in 1783, and later housed early federal offices. The Sons of the Revolution have owned it since 1904 and carried out a conjectural reconstruction. Its museum (since 1907) on the second and third floors has nine galleries, including Revolutionary War paintings and portraits of Washington, and the tavern is on the American Whiskey Trail.
