About The Conference House
Located at the southernmost tip of Staten Island, the Conference House Museum is one of New York City’s most significant historic landmarks. Built in the late 17th century, the house is best known as the site of the 1776 peace conference between representatives of the American colonies and Great Britain—an unsuccessful but historic attempt to end the conflict that became the American Revolutionary War.
Today, the Conference House Museum preserves this remarkable history while offering visitors the opportunity to step inside a carefully restored colonial-era home. Through guided tours, seasonal events, educational programs, and special celebrations, guests can experience the stories of the people, politics, and traditions that shaped the early history of the United States.
Overlooking the waters where New York Harbor meets the Atlantic, the Conference House continues to serve as a place where history, community, and culture come together.

The Mission of the Conference House Association is to preserve, protect and maintain the historic Conference House, educate visitors about its historical significance and the role it played in the birth of our nation, and use the lessons learned from the failed peace conference to help resolve modern day conflicts within our youth and community. The museum is a National Historic Landmark and New York City Landmark operated by the Conference House Association and a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City.
