The Historical Society of Rockland County Invites You to Join Us on a Daytrip to Explore

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point

When: Wednesday, September 20, 2023 
Where: Leaves the Historical Society of Rockland County parking lot at 20 Zukor Road, New City, at 9:45 AM and returns to  the HSRC around 3:00 PM (rain or shine)

We’ll take a combined bus and walking tour of the West Point Campus with a special on-board guide who will tell us about the U.S. Military Academy’s role in the Revolutionary War and other famous conflicts and about many of the graduates who have shaped our nation.

The tour will stop at Trophy Point, overlooking the Hudson River, and the Plain. Depending on availability, it may also include the main Cadet Chapel, with its beautiful stained glass windows; a drive by Blaik Field at Michie Stadium and Holleder Center; the Air Flight Memorials; and the American Soldier Statue

Following the tour, we’ll enjoy an elegant luncheon at MacArthur’s Riverview Restaurant at the historic Thayer Hotel, a national treasure since it opened in 1926 and visited by past U.S. presidents, international leaders, and celebrities.

Note: This tour requires easy walking, and we’ll spend approximately an hour off the bus at the various stops. There are no restroom stops during the 1.5 hour tour.
