Edmonston House, Historic residence in Vails Gate, New York, US
The Edmonston House features two stories of stone construction with distinct architectural elements from the colonial period of New York state.
James and Margaret Edmonston constructed this stone dwelling in 1755 after purchasing 200 acres of land from the widow Ingoldsby in New Windsor.
The residence served as headquarters for generals Horatio Gates and Arthur St. Clair during the final phase of the Revolutionary War.
Visitors can explore the house museum from July through September on Sundays between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM under National Temple Hill Association management.
A reconstructed stone outbuilding behind the main house belonged to Caesar Mitchell, a freed slave who lived on the property.
