Attractions in Stony Point
Gilmore Sloane House at Stony Point Conference Center
An 1856 Victorian mansion. A complete restoration in 1997 gave each of the twelve bedrooms a private bath, twin beds, comfortable writing spaces, air conditioning, modem connections and beautiful decor. Meeting space is available on the first floor within the beautifully decorated dining room and parlors; rooms are allocated according to group size. Some meals can be contracted to be served at the house enabling your conference experience to be completely contained in the environment the house has to offer. Verandas, pergolas and lovely vistas from the many windows are all part of the Glimor Sloane presence.
Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site
Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site is located on a knobby promontory projecting into the Hudson River in the town of Stony Point, NY. It is the only preserved Revolutionary War battlefield in the lower Hudson -- the site of a successful midnight assault led by Brigadier General Anthony Wayne against a British Garrison in July, 1779. The site also hosts the oldest lighthouse in the Hudson Valley. The lighthouse, built in 1826, has been recently restored and relighted (1995). The Battlefield is open from April 15 through October 31. Tours of the lighthouse are available.
Patriot Hills Golf Course
Patriot Hills Golf Club is a 195-acre, 18-hole golf course located in Stony Point, New York. The township, enacted by the New York State Legislature on March 2O, 1865, is named for the Revolutionary War fort led by General Anthony Wayne and his patriot troops that was captured during a battle in July 1779. The Stony Point Battlefield later became home to the first lighthouse erected along the Hudson River in 1826.
