Putnam Cottage, also known as Knapp's Tavern during the Revolutionary War, is a historic landmark in Greenwich, Connecticut. This pre-Revolutionary War structure served as a meeting place for local leaders and a rest stop for travelers. It is famously associated with General Israel Putnam's daring ride to rally troops during the British invasion. Today, the cottage operates as a museum, showcasing period furnishings and artifacts that offer a glimpse into 18th-century colonial life. Managed by the Putnam Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it provides educational programs and tours for visitors interested in American history and the role of Greenwich in the nation's fight for independence.
