How it works

Step back in time for a private, after-hours VIP takeover of the historic Fraunces Tavern Museum for a high-energy, team-building experience. Fraunces Tavern is a hidden gem of American history in the heart of NYC’s financial district, serving as a meeting place for revolutionaries and housing three government departments after the war. 

Led by our elite guides—a curated team of local performers, professional comedians, and history nerds who have mastered the art of edutainment—your team will navigate the very rooms and halls where the nation’s founders walked and dined. 

This is so much more than a passive stroll through the past; it’s an interactive journey through the grit and gossip of early America. From decoding the evolution of American flags and currency to uncovering the bizarre reality of George Washington’s fake teeth, examining the high-stakes Birch Trials, and discovering the raw realities of Revolutionary New York lodging, history is brought to life through immersive storytelling and competitive games tailored to foster collaboration.

Designed specifically for corporate groups, this premium experience transforms historical narrative into a powerful tool for modern team success. By navigating the museum completely devoid of crowds, your team gains a private, exclusive perspective that mirrors the strategic, high-stakes decision-making of the Revolution itself. The games embedded throughout the tour are engineered to break down corporate barriers, spark creative problem-solving, and build authentic connections through shared laughter and discovery. 

Your team will leave the tavern not just with a deeper appreciation for American history, but with elevated morale, sharpened communication skills, and a unified, champion mindset ready to conquer your company's next big milestone.
