Site of the Hasbrouck house, where George Washington commanded his troops for 16 months at the close of the Revolutionary War, the Washington's Headquarters also features an adjacent 1910 Georgian Revival style Museum Building, which contains an extensive collection of historic artifacts. New York State acquired the seven-acre site in 1850, making it the first property in the United States to be publicly purchased and opened for the sole purpose of historic preservation. In August, 2003, an adjacent property was acquired, adding to the site 1.6 acres and a building with an auditorium.

Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site is now listed as a significant stop along the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Revolutionary War Trail.
