November 21, 2018 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

unlikely generalThe Fraunces Tavern Museum is set to host Unlikely General: Mad Anthony Wayne and the Battle for America presented by Dr. Mary Stockwell, on Thursday, December 6th at 6:30 pm.

Admission is $5 for Museum members, and $10 for the public. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.

The Fraunces Tavern Museum is located at 54 Pearl Street, New York, NY.
