What a great little historic spot tucked along the Hudson River. We were trying to kill time before…read morean afternoon wedding and I came across this place while searching online. This historic site was home to pivotal decisions during the Revolutionary War, made by George Washington himself. The museum/buildings themselves have limited hours (which are listed on the parks website) but we were able to walk the grounds freely which was nice. There are gates/fencing surrounding the site, which were locked as we went around - but toward the opposite side of the site (where I believe their designated parking lot is? We weren't sure but it looked like their lot) there is an opening where you can walk a gravel path that will take you through the site. It was really cool being able to see the buildings here. Even though the park is nestled in a neighborhood/town, I felt pretty immersed in the history just walking along the paths. We got to see the buildings that George Washington was present in, plus the various monuments that were erected on site. The state parks put up informational signs around the area so we could easily read up on the history. It was a really nice way to get even just a taste of history while we were here, which was perfect for our constricted time frame. If I'm ever traveling this way again, I'd definitely try to make it for a tour of the interiors.

Pieces were laid out for you to always want more or inquire about what's on the next room. Beautiful building for beautiful art with amazing and helpful people around every corner. In the basement floor, for the time being (until October of 2027), Tehching Hsieh's full performance art is on display and it's breathtaking. That alone, to me, was worth the admission price.

STEPH JUDGMENT: An incredible (mostly) outdoor art museum…read more We'd heard a lot of great things about this museum so we knew it was a must-visit. Even with our high expectations we were still very impressed. It's a 500+ acre museum where most of the works are monumental and/or site-specific sculptures. The $25 admission is a great deal for so much amazing art, and the equally amazing grounds. We spent 6+ hours here but didn't get to see everything. We were also just on foot, but they do have trams and bike rentals. The weather was gorgeous on the day of our visit and we were having a ball wending our way around leafy trails and expansive emerald meadows, all interspersed with works of art. There was also a re-creation of a Norman chateau that served as an indoor museum and gift shop. Their cafe was excellent; I got the French onion burger with veggie patty (mushroom-based, great flavor, with melted Gruyere) and an iced cold brew, and the hubby got a grilled cheese, which was also good. We had such a great time; would definitely love to visit Sharon

The exhibit took place the ballroom which was like a learning center on the site. Kailey was our host, she was so personable and knowledgeable. Her personality and love for the subject made the presentation. It would have been better served to be timed more toward sundown as that's when bats could be seen, however there was the offer to stay after the program to wait and see if bats showed on the site. Overall, it was a nice program and experience. My only suggestion would have been to start on time as a few families rolled in 15-20 minutes after. It was on them to get there on time, but the hosts kindness allowed us to wait for them. It wasn't a huge interruption, so only worth mentioning.
