Stony Point Battlefield and Lighthouse, NY

The Stony Point Battlefield is an 87-acre promontory commanding the Haverstraw and Stony Point Bays. In July 1779, the American Corps of Light Infantry, led by General Anthony Wayne, surprised the British forces during a successful 33-minute midnight assault and captured the site.
The site is home to the Stony Point Lighthouse (temporarily closed until further notice) the oldest extant lighthouse on the Hudson. Built in 1826, it was in operation for 99 years before it was replaced by an automatic beacon. The Stony Point Battlefield also features a museum with original weapons, and outstanding views of the Hudson River.
