Eagleswood Military Academy, Military academy in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, US

The Eagleswood Military Academy building features Second Empire architectural design elements spread across 260 acres of surveyed grounds near Route 35.

Founded in 1861 by Rebecca and Marcus Spring, the academy operated until the Civil War when many teachers enlisted, causing insufficient staffing levels.

American painter George Inness and sculptor Edward L. Kemeys worked at the academy during the 1860s, contributing to its artistic heritage.

The National Register of Historic Places registration documents provide detailed information about the building's architectural features and historical records.

The property temporarily housed the remains of two participants from John Brown's Harpers Ferry raid before their relocation to Lake Placid in 1899.
