Book Description
The history of Denning's Point--a 64-acre peninsula reaching into the mid-Hudson River from the port city of Beacon, New York--is a microcosm of the history of the Hudson River Valley. Now a state park and home to The Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries, Denning's Point, as this lavishly illustrated book shows, went through many incarnations from ancient Native American campsite to colonial homestead, one of Alexander Hamilton's Revolutionary War residences, an early 19th century great estate, a colossal brickyard, and now a center for ecological research and education.

Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh
Author: A. J. Schenkman
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738557724
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
In April 1782, Gen. George Washington rode into Newburgh and found a sprawling town. At the end of what is now Library Street was the fieldstone house of the late Col. Jonathan Hasbrouck. From April 1782 to August 1783, Hasbrouck's house became Washington's home and his longest-occupied military headquarters. At the end of the American Revolution, Washington left "headquarters," as it came to be known, and the Hasbrouck family reclaimed the house. A period of extended decline followed, until the Hasbrouck family could no longer maintain the property, and it was ultimately purchased by the State of New York. On July 4, 1850, Washington's Headquarters was named a state historic site and became the first of its kind in the nation.
