The Old '76 House in New York has direct ties to the US Revolution. John André was held and tried for espionage in the building, and would be the first British aristocrat hanged by the Colonists.

Most people don't remember André, but are more familiar with his co-conspirator. That was Benedict Arnold, who, among other treasonous acts, had arranged with André to turn over the fort at West Point to the British.

The story goes that George Washington was in the building now known as the Old '76 House when he was informed of Arnold's traitorous plans. Upon learning this, he walked to the wall where a picture of Arnold hung and turned it upside down. It remains there, still upside down, to this day.
