George Washington's Headquarters is located near Newburgh, overlooking the Hudson River. This is where he waited out the last six months of the war in 1782-83, until issuing his "cessation of hostilities" on April 19th. Nearby is the 53-foot Tower of Victory, erected in 1883 to celebrate the centennial of the War's end. The historical site, featuring exhibits and films, is open from April-October, Wednesday-Saturday.
