Stony Point State Park

Stony Point was a British outpost commanding the King’s Ferry. On July 15-16, 1779, the Corps of light infantry commanded by Anthony Wayne assaulted and took it, and it was renamed Fort Wayne. The State of New York acquired it in 1897, with the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society as custodians. The Society Daughters of the Revolution of the State of New York gratefully commemorated the sacrifices of patriots for American Independence and their gallant action at this place, and dedicated and presented this gateway to the State on October 2, 1909.
