Before the hustle and bustle of July 4th festivities in the city begin, come and enjoy a special patriotic tour in the quiet early morning hours of the Nation’s birthday with licensed NYC Tour Guide, Ellen Baird.

Designed for novices and history buffs alike, this tour explores the sites and history of the crucial events that took place in the streets of Lower Manhattan before, during, and after the American Revolutionary War—from the Stamp Act Riots to New York’s Tea Party, and the Sugar House prisons to General George Washington’s farewell to his troops at Fraunces Tavern.
