Built in 1765, this house was once owned by Aaron Burr (he killed fellow New York City resident Alexander Hamilton in a duel). During the Revolutionary War, the home was temporarily seized from its British owner and used by General George Washington. According to legend, the house is haunted by a mistress, a servant girl and a soldier. There are no tours, but it is open for public viewing. There is also a museum store. Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for seniors and students, $1.50 for school children. Cash only.
