★★★☆☆
Nice place, but in a weird location. I mean the town that grew up around the site appeared a bit sketchy, but the grounds were very nice. Unfortunately the building was closed for renovation and the Washington statue inside the monument had been pulled. So basically 3 stars for what we saw, and 2 minus for what we missed. 250th anniversary seems an odd time to close to renovate.

We are so lucky to have such amazing historical locations like this in our backyard. The actual headquarters is under renovation, however the staff have developed a phenomenal slide show presentation that is interactive that gives the visitors a complete "tour" of the house. The museum upstairs has amazing artifacts and historical pieces. You could spend hours investigating each piece. The Tower of Victory during the fall is only open for a brief period weather permitting, we were lucky enough to be able to climb the circular staircase and take in the view of the Hudson and the Headquarters. This a must see for anyone who wants to lean more about George Washington and the very important role Newburgh played in the Revolution.
★★★★☆
Beautiful area with sweeping views of the hudson river. Washington's house is not open to the public but will be soon.
★★★★★
They have handicapped parking up near the house. I’m not sure if the rest of the facility is ADA. I was to tired walking from the other parking lot this is why I said about the parking first.
My granddaughter and I had a wonderful time. The exhibits were wonderful and seemed to tell the good, the bad and the ugly. So it was in all ways a 3-D king if experience.
I tour was amazing. I got lots of interior design ideas.
It was a cold rainy day but even with that the views were grand! No wonder George and Martha stayed there!
★★★★☆
During our fall trip in 2011, we stopped at Washington's Headquarters, the stone house that served as General George Washington's headquarters during the final years of the Revolutionary War. Perched above the Hudson River, the site offers beautiful views and a fascinating glimpse into American history.
