Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York, Inc. are pleased to invite you to our annual Evacuation Day Dinner celebration held at Fraunces Tavern!

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 celebrating this event with you at Fraunces Tavern 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.

OUR 2024 EVENT HAS REACHED CAPACITY AND TICKETS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

On December 4, 1783, George Washington and his officers met at Fraunces Tavern to say an emotional farewell. Join us in the room where it happened for a special reenactment and opportunity to converse with Washington himself before he returns to Mount Vernon! $1 reserves your space at one of our four timed reenactments and also gives you admission to the Museum to see our current exhibitions.

Clement Clarke Moore is known the world over for his masterpiece of juvenile fiction, Twas the Night Before Christmas — less well-known is Moore's own life story and the involvement of his parents and grandparents during the revolutionary period. Join author and historian Pamela McColl for a festive presentation on the life and times of Clement Clarke Moore (New York, NY 1779-1863) and the Moore and Clarke families' involvement in the Revolutionary War.*
