Ryan MazierskiThe Henry Knox Headquarters is a nice historic site to visit in the Hudson Valley. During the Revolutionary War American General Henry Knox was billeted in the home, which belonged to the Ellison’s. The house itself is historic and was built in the 18th century. Tours are offered on the top of the hour and are educational and informational. On the property there is also a nice nature trail along the Silver Stream. The trail contains what might be NY State’s oldest bridge. Both a house tour and a nature trail walk should be done together when visiting this site. It is best to check the website or call ahead to see when it is open for tours. Best of all this wonderful historic site is free to enjoy for all!

Emerald Coast Partners LLCIt was like a "Dr. Who" visit the grounds are so well kept, the nature still surrounding the historical home now a museum with a lovely staff all decked out in costume and performance. We will be bringing family up from the south for next year's 4th of July celebrations!

MarieAnn Raguso (Dr MAC)The volunteer staff was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. We will be back for some other events. We attended the Spooky ghost story event, "It Was Dark Back Then." Excellent cast. Excellent production.

Mia PerezI love my Hudson Valley!! Everywhere you turn there's a historical site. We went to one of the tours they offered and I was enchanted by every aspect of the story telling and their outfits and characters. We're planning to go again with a couple of our friends and family to see and listen to another story and learn more about that period. If you like to learn more about history on our area, I really recommend you to visit Knox Headquarters.
