Washington's Headquarters, Newburgh, NY
Site of the Hasbrouck house, where George Washington commanded his troops for 16 1/2 months at the close of the Revolutionary War. 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 6 1/2 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. Convenient parking and handicap accessability.
Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site is now listed as a significant stop along the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Revolutionary War Trail. It is also a favorite destination for bus tours and school groups. The view of the Hudson Highlands coupled with the Hudson River is breathtaking.
Open: Mid-April until October 31, Wednesday through Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm, Sunday 1 - 5 pm. November through March open by appointment. Special Events and themed programs are offered throughout the year. Education and Outreach programs are available for schools and groups.
