We stopped by in the evening and listened to the recording. It is well lit and kinda interesting in the dark. It is tucked in with so many other buildings.

This little log cabin in Riverside Park was the HQ for then-Colonel George Washington during the French and Indian War. Here he strategized his military moves and, according to the on-site signage, wrote love letters to his future wife Martha.
Some sources say the cabin was originally located on the hill across the street and moved to this park.
