JoAnn NorrisI plan events & arranged a private tour for my group of the Fort Montgomery Historic Site. What an enlightening experience we had learning about the fierce Revolutionary War battle fought on this site. The tour included the museum artifacts, a short 15 minute film reacting the battle, a walk into the woods to see the remains of the redoubts & firing musket. Peter, our guide was dressed in period costume. He was extremely knowledgeable! Everyone really enjoyed!

Nancy SetzlerIt was so neat to hear the history surrounding this fort and what a beautiful view. I especially recommend watching the video. It doesn't take long and is so worth it!

Valerio VitiGreat little museum and wonderful settings with amazing views of the Hudson and the nearby Bear Mountain bridge. Very nice reconstruction of what the 2 forts looked like. The volunteers were super helpful and there was a nice short introductory movie. We did not hike since we had limited time but we did take a stroll on one of the paths that goes under the Popolopen Creek bridge and then went on the bridge to take some pictures of the Bear Mountain Bridge. We will be back on a cooler day and explore the hiking paths.

John GerraughtyA very scenic and historic location. Hike down to the creek and cross the pedestrian bridge and you can walk right down to the edge of the Hudson River. Great views of the Bear Mountain Bridge from multiple locations.
