Newburgh Revolutionary War Markers and Overlook
Monument
A series of historical markers along the Newburgh riverfront and bluffs commemorating the Revolutionary War significance of the area, including the Newburgh Conspiracy and Washington's final headquarters. The overlook provides views across the Hudson to the southern Hudson Highlands — the strategic terrain Washington watched from Hasbrouck House for sixteen months.
