Washington in NYC
New York City set the stage for many of George Washington’s trials and triumphs. This 60-minute guided tour will explore the role New York had in shaping Washington’s public career, from young militia colonel to seasoned General. Within New York City, Washington suffered his greatest military defeat, created a spy-ring which laid the groundwork for today’s intelligence community, and set precedence as the first President of the United States. Learn about the city and crucial events which helped to define an extraordinary career of political leadership and service!
Included with regular museum admission.
Did you know? ~ George Washington was born on February 11, 1731. During this time North America was following the Julian Calendar. However, in 1752 Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian Calendar, which had an eleven day difference to accommodate leap years. Therefore, George Washington's birthday is now recognized as February 22, 1732.
