A historic treasure. Did you know that the Marquis de Lafayette came back to America in 1824 and the first place he set foot was Castle Clinton?
We visited with Lafayette to tour the historic site for his upcoming bicentennial celebrations. The guides are amazing. The gift shop had some wonderful and affordable gifts. They have detailed historic markers about the site and it is a great place for families. If you like history, make sure to stop here on the way to see Liberty or Fraunces Tavern.

We were in NYC to prepare for the bicentennial kickoff of Lafayette’s return to America celebrations and got surprised to lunch at the Tavern. It was an experience. The building is a part of history and is breathtaking. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable! You can walk around and explore the historic site which is great for history nerds like myself and for families. The menu is diverse for all food preferences as well. Bravo for that at an historic tavern! It’s a must see experience.
