Newtown Battlefield State Park

The 372-acre park contains Sullivan Hill, a 1,400-foot elevation where Continental Army forces engaged in combat during the American Revolution in 1779.

The Battle of Newtown marked a decisive victory for General John Sullivan's forces against British-allied Iroquois warriors positioned along the Chemung River.

A granite monument erected in 1912 stands atop Sullivan Hill, commemorating the Continental Army's campaign against Native American and British forces.

The park maintains several pavilions accommodating 25 to 77 people, with rental fees ranging from 50 to 150 dollars for events and gatherings.

During the Great Depression, an all-Black Civilian Conservation Corps unit developed numerous park facilities that remain in use today.
