Revolutionary History - Putnam County Revolutionary New York 250

REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY

Enoch Crosby (Historical Marker and Burial Site)

Enoch Crosby (1750–1835) was a modest shoemaker turned American spy and soldier during the American Revolution. Crosby was recruited by John Jay (a stateman and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States) to be a full-time spy, where he gained entry and the trust of those intwined in Loyalist and British circles. Crosby was repeatedly captured by Americans who believed him to be a Loyalist but always escaped to continue his work.

Location of Historical Marker: In front of the Historic Putnam County Court House (40 Gleneida Avenue, Carmel).

Location of Burial Site: Gilead Cemetery, 29 Mechanic Street, Carmel

Benedict Arnold Flight

General Benedict Arnold served the cause of the American Revolution until 1779, when he shifted his allegiance to the British. His plan to surrender American-controlled West Point to the British during the Revolutionary War was thwarted labeling him forever more as a traitor. Here you can hike the same escape route that Benedict Arnold took. The path is a moderate level trail (one mile in length) containing several steep hills and sections of rocky, uneven terrain lasting approximately 1.5 hours. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenic views of the majestic Hudson River and West Point, our Nation’s first military academy founded in 1802.

Location: Historical marker is on Route 9D, about 1.4 miles south of Garrison post office.

Prince Cornwall (Historical Marker and Burial Site)

Prince Cornwall (born around 1750) a long-time resident of Kent, NY who lived to the age of 104, was once enslaved and gained his freedom following his military service under General George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

Location: 1118 North Horsepound Road, Kent

Sybil Ludington Statue and Burial Site

Sybil Ludington “the female Paul Revere” sketched her name in history as a heroine of the American Revolutionary War. On April 26, 1777, at the age of 16, Ludington, the daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington of the Colonial militia, is said to have made an all-night horseback ride of 40 miles to rally militia forces in neighboring towns after the burning of Danbury, Connecticut, by British forces. Troops from New York and Connecticut engaged the British the next day in the Battle of Ridgefield, and the British retreated.”

Commemorative sculpture was made in her honor by Anna Hyatt Huntington and was erected along the shores of Lake Gleneida in Carmel, NY, in 1961.

  • Location of Statue: Lake Gleneida, 15 Gleneida Avenue, Carmel

Revolutionary Adventures - Putnam County Revolutionary New York 250

REVOLUTIONARY FAMILY ADVENTURES

Boscobel House & Gardens

Built between 1804 and 1808, Boscobel was originally the dream house of wealthy Loyalists States and Elizabeth Dyckman. For a majority of the American Revolutionary War, States served as a clerk for the British Army's Quartermaster Department, overseeing accounts for the quartermasters responsible for providing all of the necessary provisions to the British army. Today, Boscobel’s interiors display one of the finest collections of decorative arts and New York furniture from the Federal period.

Situated on 68 acres overlooking Constitution Marsh toward the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Boscobel’s landscape showcases dramatic views of the Hudson River. On Boscobel's Great Lawn, you can see remnants of the “Great Chain” that were used as a naval tactic to prevent British vessels from sailing up the Hudson River during the war.

Location: 1601 Route 9D, Garrison, NY 10524

Revolutionary Cruise - Putnam County Revolutionary New York 250

REVOLUTIONARY CUISINE

The Bird & Bottle Inn

Built in 1761, The Bird & Bottle Inn is a traditional Dutch Colonial style home, with a history predating the American Revolution. Known for years as Warren’s Tavern, the property was an important stagecoach stop along the Old Albany Post Road in Garrison, NY and catered to those journeying between New York City and Albany. The inn once housed General George Washington’s Continental troops as its location was perfectly placed between The Fishkill Military Supply Depot, the Garrison Redoubts, West Point, and The Beverly Robinson House where Generals like Benedict Arnold were stationed during the war. Come relax, dine and stay in classic American elegancy.
