The Square House
Sitting on the village green and the Boston Post Road, the Square House has welcomed visitors to the entrance of Rye for nearly three centuries. It has served as a home, an inn, a tavern, and city hall. Today, it is a historic museum, exhibit hall and the home of the Rye Historical Society. Formerly a tavern where George Washington once stayed for the night, the Square House was opened as a museum in 1967 and houses many exhibits and a large collection of artifacts, dating back to 1660.
