The ‘76 House
America’s Oldest Tavern
Built with the founding of Tappan (1686) and
expanded in 1755 to accommodate the town’s
need to provide hospitality to stagecoach travelers.
The 76 House is America’s oldest tavern. It was
within these venerable walls that the Dutch town
fathers, a group naturally predisposed to separate
themselves from England, gathered to draft and
sign The Resolutions of Orangetown on July 4,
1774, a document which stands as one of America’s
first declarations of independence.
It was this fiercely independent spirit which
caused the English army not only to take control of
New York but also to expand their presence up the
Hudson Valley. To thwart this surge the Colonials
fortified what is now known as West Point, a
situation which placed Tappan at the front line of
the War for Independence. This led every general
in the Continental army and many of our founding
fathers to the ‘76 House: Hamilton, Green,
Van Buren, Lafayette, Anthony Wayne,
Lord Sterling, Gen. Glover, Tallmadge, Knox,
Von Steuben and, of course, Washington – just
to name a few.
In fact it was Washington’s presence at the 76
House which caused Major Andre’s captors to
bring the infamous spy and collaborator with
Benedict Arnold to Tappan for trial and eventual
execution. Andre became the first aristocrat
hanged by colonists, an event which reshaped our
war of independence.
The next time Washington was to visit the 76
House it was to for a contentious meeting with
Sir Guy Carlton, who after days of negotiation
tendered the plans of the British evacuation and on
behalf of Great Britain, recognized America as a
free and independent nation for the first time in
our history. A 17-gun salute in the waters off
Tappan-by-the-sea (now Piermont) confirmed
America’s independence. May 4, 1783
