dc.descriptionThe Indian Queen Tavern originally stood in New Brunswick; it was moved to Piscataway in 1971, to become part of East Jersey Olde Towne. At its original New Brunswick location, it was the site of two memorable Revolutionary War events. On September 9, 1776, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Edward Rutledge were en route to Perth Amboy. They had been sent by the Continental Congress to meet with Lord Howe in Staten Island, which was a short boat ride across the Hudson River from Perth Amboy. Because there were so few rooms available, Adams and Franklin were forced to share a room at the Indian Queen Tavern. On December 9, 1783, George Washington was honored with a dinner at the Indian Queen Tavern.
