Hike through History: Fort Montgomery State Historic Site

The Historical Society of Rockland County invites you to join us for a Fort Montgomery State Historic Site "Hike through History."

Discover 1.3 billion years of history as we hike from Fort Montgomery State Historic Site to the Trailside Museums and Zoo, talking history, geology, and botany along the ever popular Twin Forts hiking trail. On this ramble, we will

  • Discuss the dramatic attack of the Twin Forts in 1777 
  • View remains of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton 
  • See one of only a handful of visible shipwrecks in the Hudson 
  • Pass an ancient Native American campsite 
  • Identify plants, animals, and rocks along the way.
Steep ascents and descents. Bring water and wear appropriate footwear. The hike concludes at approximately 12:30 pm. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after the hike. 

ADMISSION is free (donations are greatly appreciated). Reservations are required. For information, go to http://www.rocklandhistory.org/event.cfm?page=346.
