Exploring Bannerman’s Castle
Inside A Jewel of the Hudson River Valley
New
A jewel of the Hudson Highlands, Bannerman’s Castle is an iconic landmark with a history integral to the birth of our nation. During the American Revolution, the island served as a protector of the Highlands against the British fleet in 1777. Later it was used as a thriving military arsenal after the Spanish-American War through World War I. Accessible only by boat, you’ll indulge your sense of adventure today with a short boat ride to the island. Upon reaching the island you will be greeted by your tour guide and be given an escorted tour of this rugged little island. Your tour will include a lecture about the island’s history and plenty of opportunities for photographs of the unique scenery. See for yourself why this island will always have its place in history and in legend, and will forever be a jewel in its Hudson Highland setting. Set on the Historic Hudson River, you’ll enjoy a delicious Sunday Brunch at the Torches on the Hudson restaurant where floor to ceiling windows provide spectacular views of the Hudson River. You’ll indulge in a mimosa before you browse the expansive brunch buffet featuring carving, omelet and waffle stations! Due to the unique nature of this tour, only a limited number of seats are available. Please also be advised this tour includes walking on uneven paths and trails. Please wear the proper shoes and attire for a walk in the woods. The island is still as primitive as it was in the early 1900’s and there is no electricity and no running water on the island.

I have always marveled at the wonderful job you do at “planning everything so well. I just came back from the Show and once again, I HAD THE GREATEST TIME EVER!! I can’t wait to bring a group of friends to see it next year. Our tour director was just incredible - so professional and handled everything with such grace.
