A Quick Guide to Newburgh
Bannerman's Castle
Pollepel Island, NY, 12508
Take a 30-minute boat ride to Pollepel Island in the middle of the Hudson River and discover the story of Bannerman’s Castle. The 1901 fortress – which looks like it was beamed in from Scotland – was built by Francis Bannerman as personal storage for military equipment. Meander the ruins and enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding river. Plenty of parking is available on-site and within easy walking distance for your Newburgh rental car while you explore.
Dia Beacon
3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY, 12508
Visit this profound museum to admire an extensive collection of artists from the 1960s to present day. The Dia Art Foundation funds single artist projects which are later exhibited at the museum for viewing. The opening of the museum in 2003 has helped put the local area on the cultural map. There is some on-site parking, but it is limited, so on busy days you may have to leave your rental car at Metro North Beacon Station in Newburgh, which is around an eight-minute walk away.
Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site
84 Liberty Street, NY, 12551
Overlooking the Hudson River, this historic site was once the home of George Washington, during his command of the Continental Army. Discover more than 13,000 artefacts from the Revolutionary War and climb the steps to the Tower of Victory, an impressive feature added in 1890. Parking is free for your Newburgh rental car when you visit the site.
