Mount Gulian Historic Site

Perched above the Hudson River in Beacon, New York, Mount Gulian Historic Estate stands as a testament to American history. Originally constructed by the Verplanck family in the 1730s, the estate served as the Revolutionary War headquarters for General Friedrich von Steuben. The original house, which was destroyed by fire in 1931, was meticulously reconstructed in 1975. Today, visitors can explore the site and gain insights into the lives of the Verplanck family and the strategic importance of the location during the Revolutionary War.
