Stony Point Lighthouse
Monument
The oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River, built 1826 on the Stony Point promontory. Sits near the summit that British forces fortified in 1779. Managed as part of the state historic site and open during site hours, the lighthouse provides an elevated reference point for understanding the geography of the assault.
