the stony point battlefield lighthouse印象

Very nice historical state park located on the banks of the Hudson River. Many great views of the River and surrounding area. Interesting museum. Nice place to walk around for a couple of hours.

Wonderful river vistas on three sides, the lighthouse, a nice small museum....but in July they bring in 100-120 re-enactors who are willing to spend time showing the kids crafts, military equipment, singing with them, etc.....an amazing Colonial Williamsburg type weekend, but right here in Rockland County! Check for details, usually second weekend of July.

Stony Point has a great deal to offer to those who love Rev. War history and a fine natural area with great views of the Hudson River from three directions from up high. We went in July, 2014 during the weekend commemorating the 235th anniversary of the American victory over the British here. There were a number of great things to do and see-- various craft demonstrations, music, cannon firings, lectures, battle re-enactments, a fine museum, and the lighthouse. At any other time you will always have the museum, historical markers, lighthouse, and wonderful hilly, rocky area. Walking up and down hills will be required. I don't know if one is ever allowed to go into the small lighthouse, but access to outside is permitted. Make sure the museum will be open before you go.

This state park requires a lot of walking, some of it strenuous. There are markers throughout the part explaining various points and the part they played in the Revolutionary Battle of Stony Point. On certain weekends during the year the park is the site of various re-enactments involving participants who dress and act the part of Revolutionary War soldiers. Very interesting. As an added attraction there is a bald eagle nest out towards the lighthouse. During my last visit the nest was not active but two bald eagles, one mature, one not mature we're observed circling the area and then landed in a tree where they were easily observed.

We went here especially to see the lighthouse and museum, but there is also a lot of other history there. It takes a bit of walking up and down hill, with lovely views of the Hudson River. The museum closes at 4; earlier than the park itself, so be sure to get there in time for that.

You will love this historical New York State Park. This location is steeped in history with a truly knowledgeable and informative staff. The best time to go is during the battle camp demonstrations. My kids worked with the blacksmith to create hand made nails and were able to keep their nails as a souvenir. They have a small museum that is pretty cool also. The entrance is a little tricky to find, but just keep following the scenic road. The views of the Hudson River are amazing.

This is nice little state park that preserves an overlooked later battle of the Revolution. There is a small museum that has information about the engagement (and the lighthouse on the property). The exhibits are fairly detailed but not overwhelming. There is a nice mix of information and artifacts, although an orientation film would have been helpful.Outside the visitor center there is a walking trail that takes you to different points in the park. Trailside markers discuss the events at each location with good detail. Walking the grounds, it's easy to see why this was such an important strategic point and so difficult to assault. The pathway is a good climb at some points, but I think the worst was actually the hill they make you walk up from the parking lot to the visitor center.

We stumbled upon this park on our drive up 9W. Visitors drive over a single lane bridge to cross over the train tracks. The parking area is at the bottom of a hill & visitors have to walk up the hill to see the museum, lighthouse, and historical markers around the park. The grounds are very well kept making it a very enjoyable place to walk around and relax. The pleasant surroundings make for a nice place to learn about the Revolutionary War era battles that occurred on the grounds. The lighthouse is very nice to see up close, and from the base of it there are some nice scenic views looking down the Hudson River. We also caught a glimpse of several hawks soaring above the park.
