Description

Located directly above the restaurant, this small museum spans two floors of galleries filled with period documents, drawings, and portraits. The exhibits trace the building's historical footprint, highlighting the rooms where John Jay negotiated treaties. The collection focuses on tangible remains of the era: detailed placards contextualize relics ranging from period tables and playing cards to a lock of George Washington's hair and a wooden panel from his inaugural stagecoach.
