Great place to learn about American history and the revolutionary war. They have an interesting museum and great demonstrations.

You can see staff demonstrate musket fire and on weekends at 3:00pm they fire off a real cannon. There's not a lot of people that come here. I came here on the weekend and there was around 8-10 people watching the cannon fire demonstration.

There's a lot of beautiful scenic lookouts of the Hudson River as well.

The location is a beautiful park above the Hudson River. The views are fantastic. The staff are wonderful and very well informed. Stop by the museum and take in the encampment site to see people dressed in 18th century military uniforms. Would highly recommend for anyone into history or anyone with children.

The terrain includes a tiny bit of hills so be aware that beforehand.

Check web site and Facebook for hours etc. went today 11/12025 and it was not open as it is on winter hours also no bicycles or dogs permitted . Looks like it’s a beautiful place mo

Stony Point Battlefield is a beautiful historic site located in Stony Point, NY. Stony Point is set high on a bluff that overlooks the Hudson River. The views from the park are spectacular. Rarely does a historic site offer the combination of striking scenery and rich history, but this place does!
The park offers both a nice indoor museum and outdoor walking paths. The paved walking paths have interpretive exhibits explaining the historical importance of the battlefield. There are several overlooks where you can see up and down the Hudson for many miles on a clear day. The overlook near the lighthouse is the best part of the walking trail and you will want to spend a few minutes at this spot. The rocky outcroppings along the path are a nice touch as well. There are benches to sit and rest as you go along.
The museum does a great job putting together exhibits that explain the historical significance of the area. There are exhibits with artifacts found from the American and British armies here. They also have an informative display on how the lighthouse operated for the years that it was in use. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed in the museum.
When coming into the park you will see the Stony Point memorial arch. The arch is a memorable entrance way into the park. On certain days the park also has historical reenactors, who do a great job demonstrating what life was like in the American Revolution. This area might be overlooked, but it should not be. It offers great history, scenic views, a nice museum, and is a great place to be.

Short History:
In 1779 the British Army occupied this bluff and controlled the Hudson River. On the night of July 16,1779 American General Anthony Wayne led a corps of American soldiers that captured the bluff and took control of it from the British. This effectively ended British control of the Hudson River and after this most of the fighting in the American Revolution would shift to the American south. Years after the American Revolution, the lighthouse on the bluff was built in 1826 and is the oldest one on the Hudson River.

Small Battlefield. It has an excellent walk. There is a large hill from parking but the occasionally run carts up and down. The day we were there it was not busy and we enjoyed the walk and fall views.
