Kosciuszko's Garden
Landmark
A small garden carved into the rocky bluff above the Hudson River by Thaddeus Kosciuszko during his engineering work at West Point, 1778–1780. Kosciuszko created the garden with a waterfall and plantings as a contemplative space during his years at the fortress. It is the only surviving physical work Kosciuszko made at West Point that is not a fortification. A stone marker commemorates the site, which remains a quiet corner of the Academy grounds.
