Stony Point Battlefield, Revolutionary War battlefield site in Rockland County, United States.
The battlefield includes a museum, lighthouse, and walking trails spread across a rocky peninsula overlooking the Hudson River at Stony Point.
General Anthony Wayne led Continental Army troops in a midnight bayonet attack on July 16, 1779, capturing the British fortification within 30 minutes.
The museum displays military artifacts, Revolutionary War exhibits, and two murals painted by Lee Woodward Zeigler depicting battle planning scenes.
The historic site welcomes visitors Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4:30 PM and Sunday from noon to 4:30 PM with guided tours available.
The site contains the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River, built in 1826, which operated until 1925 guiding maritime traffic along the waterway.
