Historic Sites & Ruins

The Hudson Highlands contain a dense concentration of military and industrial history overlooking the Hudson River. This collection features the Revolutionary War fortifications of Fort Montgomery and the 19th-century rifled Parrott Gun, a staple of Civil War artillery. Architectural ruins include the Scottish-style Bannerman Castle, once used for surplus ammunition storage, and the Northgate estate of Edward Cornish. For panoramic views of the valley, the Mt. Beacon Fire Observation Tower provides a restored vantage point atop South Beacon Mountain.
