Her second worst was Thomas Jefferson’s awkward visit to pay his respects subsequently. Indeed, by the time George Washington had died in 1799, the two founders were estranged. But that estrangement has obscured the fact that for most of their thirty-year acquaintance they enjoyed a productive relationship. In this lecture, Francis D.

The failures, defeats and eventual occupation of the area at the hands of the British forged the resolve and strength of character that would later ensure Patriot victories on distant battlegrounds throughout the rest of the colonies.

By focusing in on Braintree, Massachusetts and these three prominent families of the village, Sankovitch demonstrates how the desire for independence cut across class lines, binding people together as they pursued commonly held goals of oppo...2021-11-1357 minFraunces Tavern MuseumGeorge Washington and the Battle of GermantownIn this lecture, recorded October 14, 2021, Michael Harris will discuss the Battle of Germantown.

White, Black, Hispanic, and Native American, this uniquely diverse group of soldiers set an inclusive standard the US Army would not reach again for more than 170 years.2021-09-1549 min
Fraunces Tavern MuseumEspionage and Enslavement in the RevolutionIn this lecture, recorded July 8. 2021, author Claire Bellerjeau speaks about her new book Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution. In January 1785, a young, enslaved woman from Oyster Bay named Elizabeth was put on board the Lucretia in New York Harbor, bound for Charleston, where she would be sold to her fifth enslaver in just 22 years.

Fraunces Tavern MuseumFourteenth Colony: The Forgotten Story of the Gulf South During America's Revolutionary EraIn this lecture, recorded May 6, 2021, historian Mike Bunn offers the first comprehensive history of the British colony of West Florida. For a host of reasons, the colony has long been dismissed as a loyal but inconsequential fringe outpost. But the colony's history showcases a tumultuous political scene featuring a halting attempt at instituting representative government; a host of bold and colorful characters; a compelling saga of struggle and perseverance in the pursuit of financial stability; and a dramatic series of battles on land and water which brought about the end of its days under the Union Jack.2021-05-0758 minFraunces Tavern MuseumValcour: The 1776 Campaign That Saved the Cause of LibertyDuring the summer of 1776, patriots worked frantically to head off a British invasion from Canada. Their effort culminated in a wild three-day naval battle on Lake Champlain in northern New York.

Between the 1760s and 1800s, Americans stopped thinking of the British past as their own history and created a new historical tradition that would form the foundation of what future generations would think of as "American history." This process, Hattem argues, played a critical role in the founding of the nation.2021-04-2351 minFraunces Tavern MuseumOccupied America: British Military Rule and the Experience of RevolutionIn this lecture recorded March 11, 2021, Donald Johnson explores how, in the midst of British military occupation, men and women from a variety of backgrounds navigated harsh conditions, mitigated threats to their families and livelihoods, took advantage of new opportunities, and balanced precariously between revolutionary and royal attempts to secure their allegiance. In so doing, Johnson argues that these people and their experiences shaped the course of the Revolution, gradually discrediting Britain’s ability to govern the former colonies and rotting their attempts to restore order from the inside out.2021-03-1557 minFraunces Tavern MuseumGeorge Washington's Final BattleDespite America’s newly won independence, a bitter dispute over whether to have a capital and where to locate it almost tore the young nation apart. In this lecture recorded February 18, 2021, Robert Watson discusses the pivotal role played by George Washington in the struggle over the placement of America’s capital.2021-03-151h 02Fraunces Tavern Museum1774: The Long Year of the RevolutionThe 16 months from the Boston Tea Party to the Battles of Lexington and Concord changed the course of American history. In this lecture, recorded on February 4, 2021, Mary Beth Norton explores what is known as the "long year" of the American Revolution, a time when once-loyal colonists began their discordant "discussions," leading to the acceptance of the inevitability of a war against the British Empire.2021-02-1057 minFraunces Tavern MuseumBenjamin Franklin and SomersettEveryone knows about the Revolutionary War, but few know of Benjamin Franklin's secret plan to turn the northern and southern colonies against their oppressors, and how the freeing of one enslaved man, Somersett, was the catalyst for the colonies to come together against the crown. In this lecture, Phillip Goodrich discusses the little-known story behind the origins of the Revolutionary War and explains how several well-known but random events during the war culminated in the creation of the United States of America.2021-01-2550 minFraunces Tavern MuseumSpain and the Independence of the United StatesIn this lecture, Thomas E. Chavez discusses Spain's key role in the birth of the United States. From monetary support to naval engagements and ground warfare, Spain's involvement turned a revolution into a world war, and greatly aided the Patriot victory.2021-01-191h 00
Discovering New York City. Downtown and Midtown (2nd part)Episode 7: Fraunces Tavern MuseumOn your right is a small brick home which is a museum and the small Fraunces tavern. Many historical events have occurred in this house. The house itself was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the French Huguenot, Etienne DeLancey. Approximately 40 years later it was bought by the restorer Samuel Fraunces and he converted the home into a tavern which quickly became a favorite of the citizens of New York. There, the "sons of liberty", the advocates of independence of the American colonies would gather. Also here on a table of this tavern the New York Stock Exchan...2020-12-2301 minFraunces Tavern MuseumHamilton: Man, Myth, Musical...MenschBy now, most everyone has heard of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton: An American Musical.

This talk also features a fun fact-checking of the musical and a look at the backstory of some of the show's main scenes.2020-12-021h 15Fraunces Tavern MuseumGeorge Washington's NemesisWhile historians often treat General Charles Lee as an inveterate enemy of George Washington or a great defender of American liberty, author Christian McBurney argues that neither image is wholly accurate. In this lecture, recorded October 16, 2020, McBurney will discuss his research into a more nuanced understanding of one of the Revolutionary War's most misunderstood figures.2020-10-1955 minFraunces Tavern MuseumPreserving the Past: The Restoration of Fraunces TavernPreserving the Past is a digital lecture that takes a comprehensive look at the architecture, design, and history of 54 Pearl Street, one of the oldest buildings in New York City.

It called for the officers to meet--outside the chain of command--and act boldly to strong arm Congress to deliver on their long overdue pay and desperately needed pensions. But was the letter the officers’ idea alone? Or were they put up to it by politicians in Philadelphia eager to grow the power of the central government? And how far were the angry officers willing to go? Replace General Washington? March on Congress? In this lecture, recorded Se...2020-09-281h 02Fraunces Tavern MuseumAmerica Walks Into a BarWhat do we lose when our bars are shuttered? These can seem like frivolous spaces, but they have played an important role in American history. In this lecture, recorded September 16, 2020, Christine Sismondo explores the role of bars across the country's history, including the colonial era, Prohibition, the 1960s, and today.

Seth Warner's Continental regiment of Green Mountain Boys, to the sources of wealth that funded the New Hampshire troops at the battle.2020-09-2854 minFraunces Tavern MuseumVictory or Death: The Battles of Trenton and PrincetonJust six months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington and the new American Army sit on the verge of utter destruction by the banks of the Delaware River. Rather than submit to defeat, Washington and his small band of soldiers crossed the ice-choked Delaware River and attacked the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey on the day after Christmas. He followed up the surprise attack with successful actions along the Assunpink Creek and at Princeton. In this lecture, recorded August 6, 2020, Maloy will discuss the stunning military campaign that allowed Washington to turn the tables, and breathe...2020-09-2856 minFraunces Tavern MuseumCaptives of Liberty: Prisoners of War and the Politics of Vengeance in the American RevolutionIn this lecture, recorded July 16, 2020, Jones examines how America's founding generation grappled with the problems posed by prisoners of war, and how this influenced the wider social and political legacies of the Revolution. As the British denied customary protections to their American captives, the revolutionary leadership wasted no time in capitalizing on the prisoners' ordeals for propagandist purposes. This cycle of violence spiraled out of control, transforming the struggle for colonial independence into a revolutionary war.2020-09-281h 02Fraunces Tavern MuseumSusanna's Midnight Ride: The Girl Who Won the Revolutionary WarIn this lecture, recorded June 30, 2020, Libby McNamee discusses her historical fiction book Susanna’s Midnight Ride: The Girl Who Won the Revolutionary War.

Washington modeled his new cabinet on the councils of war he had led as commander of the Continental Army, tinkering with its structure throughout his administration. As Washington faced an increasingly recalcitrant Congress, he came to treat the cabinet as a private advisory body to summon as needed, greatly expanding the role of the president and the executive branch.2020-09-2853 min
