| Garrison, NY |
Back |
Nestled along the east side of the Hudson River, across from the United States Military Academy and the community of West Point, Garrison stands proudly. Garrison once was a weekend retreat for successful New Yorker's looking for peace and quiet away from the city. With an easy commute to New York City, Garrison has become home to many writers, artist and creative minds in the recent years.
Rich in historic heritage, Garrison offers tours and visits to several 19th century mansions, including the Boscobel home. This historic treasure sits high above the Hudson River and houses many fine pieces of New York Federal furniture. Tours are available through the time period home, rose gardens, apple orchard and more. The Boscobel home offers a mile trail through 30 acres of fine grounds.
Along with Garrison's rich heritage comes great cultural and nature activities. The Garrison Art Center offers three buildings–each over 100 years old–for viewing various works. Walks through the Constitution Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Manitoga Nature Center and nearby Hudson Highlands State Park offer residents the retreat into nature they desire.
Recreation activities around Garrison are highlighted by the restaurants and Garrison Golf Club. This public course offers great terrain to challenge any golfer, while allowing for scenic views. The Valley Restaurant at The Garrison offers diners a view of the setting sun over the Hudson and outdoor dining areas as well. The cuisine offered is local to the area with a focus on seasonal fare from local farmers in the Hudson Valley.
The public services of Garrison give residents peace of mind offering two nearby hospitals, Butterfield Memorial at West Point and the Putnam Hospital in Lake Camel, so care is never far away. Nearby Garrison School is within walking distance for many local school children in grades K–8.
Garrison offers residents a quiet setting close to the city, but without the hustle and bustle of city life. Open space is preserved, while the town maintains its wholesome small town aura right here on the banks of the Hudson River. This could be why so many creative professionals have made Garrison home. |
