Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site

Details

An official Path Through History Site! Visit the site of the Battle of Stony Point, one of the last Revolutionary War battles in the northeastern colonies. This is where Brigadier General Anthony Wayne led his corps of Continental Light Infantry in a daring midnight attack on the British, seizing the site's fortifications and taking the soldiers and camp followers at the British garrison as prisoners on July 16, 1779. The site features a museum with exhibits and interpretive programs such as reenactments highlighting 18th century military life, cannon and musket firings, cooking demonstrations, and children's activities. The site is also home to the 1826 Stony Point Lighthouse – the Hudson River’s oldest.
