An ingenious Patriot deception provokes a prominent Loyalist to surrender his outpost

A colonial-era home built in 1732. The Continental Army used the house during the Revolutionary War as the Officers' Headquarters for the Fishkill Supply Depot.

This Revolutionary War landmark withstood fierce fighting during the Battle of Springfield. A British cannonball struck the home — and the scar remains visible today. Inside, the house has been restored and now serves as a museum filled with artifacts, documents, and stories that bring the 1780 battle to life.

Visitor Center and Museum dedicated to the history of Rogers Island and Fort Edward.

Built around 1741 by Adolphus and Nicholas Brower, who settled here and built this homestead along Wappingers Creek. Nicholas and his sons were active Patriots, supplying wheat, corn, and more to Washington's Army and building a shipyard along the creek from which supplies were sent to the Army at West Point.

This battleground was the site of three British camps, attacked by Patriot troops on August 6, 1780. It was a fight primarily between countrymen.
