About

Evacuation Day marked the final British evacuation from New York City in 1783, after seven years of occupation. The evening culminated in a festive dinner given by Governor George Clinton, honoring George Washington and his officers at Samuel Fraunces‘ tavern.

Evacuation Day remained a New York City holiday into the 1910s, with celebrations rivaling those of the Fourth of July.

We look forward to commemorating this event once again with you at Fraunces Tavern to celebrate as George Washington did that night, by raising our glasses for the very same thirteen toasts given at the first Evacuation Day Dinner at Fraunces Tavern on November 25, 1783.

6:30pm reception in the Museum's Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Educational Center for American History includes wine, beer, and hors d'oeuvres.

7:30pm dinner in the Bissell Room of Fraunces Tavern includes a three-course meal, wine, and beer.
