8 Sights & Landmarks in Newburgh That You Shouldn't Miss
Newburgh /ˈnuːbɜːrɡ/ is a city located in Orange County, New York, United States, 60 miles (97 km) north of New York City, and 90 miles (140 km) south of Albany, on the Hudson River. Newburgh is a part of the New York CSA. The Newburgh area was first settled in the early 18th century by the Germans and British. During the American Revolution, Newburgh served as the headquarters of the Continental Army. Prior to its chartering in 1865, the city of Newburgh was part of the town of Newburgh; the town now borders the city to the north and west. East of the city is the Hudson River; the city of Beacon, New York is across the river; and it is connected to Newburgh via the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge. The entire southern boundary of the city is with the town of New Windsor. Most of this boundary is formed by Quassaick Creek. In May 2016, the city requested help for its PFOS contaminated water supply under Superfund.

You have to be delighted that this staff does all of the hard work it does to create an excellent tour in this wonderful museum and headquarters building, It is truly authentic and what is even more amazing is everything that we know about it from all of the letters that Washington wrote and all of the artifacts on display. This is a great piece of American history.

This was an excellent tour. It was overwhelming to be in the middle of the Hudson River, birds soaring overhead, people from all walks of life, ... being where Henry Hudson sailed, seeing West Point! We loved it!!! The crew were super nice and friendly - we have taken plenty of cruise tours where the crew just goes "thru the motions" while it is clear they can't wait for you to GET OFF...not these people. They were lovely to everyone, caring and all of them acted as if this were the most interesting thing they could be doing! If you are a visitor to the area (we were) you should absolutely do it! Long enough to stay interesting and short enough to stay interesting! Color books for the kids and plenty to keep them interested though there were only a few kids on board when we were there! There were several couples from the area who have done it before and were doing it again...so if you live in the area - you should go! It was cool inside; they sell beer and wine which were quite nice as well as letting you bring snacks and drinks (no alcohol) aboard with you - no coolers. They had hot dogs for sale and candy. You can sit on the front but the back on the left side of the cabin with cabin facing forward was great!!!! Free parking across the street and in one lot on their side - but across the street had shade trees. Beautiful park with lots of very, very, friendly geese. Great restaurant next door. This was terrific! Highly recommend!

This very visible farm market on Route 9W should be a first stop for travelers and locals. Each morning the crew makes apple cider donuts that are just the right size for snacking, roasted turkey sandwiches for $1 each, hard-boiled eggs, cut vegetables to have with your sandwich, and several other goodies to eat right then and also take with you. The lady who is there most days at the crack of dawn is humorous and helpful - fun to talk with while you're shopping. We took home apples and they have lasted more than 10 days, we've enjoyed them every day. I wish they could ship them. The Overlook offers vegetables, fresh eggs (chickens on site), flowers, and other market items but I have to say I came there for the apple cider donuts and the dollar sandwiches - a real treat!

I like walking bridges. When I lived in the Bay Area, I walked over the Golden Gate Bridge a few times a year. I walk to work now from my home in Brooklyn to my job in lower Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge. So when a friend wanted to visit Beacon, New York, an old town on the Hudson an hour north of New York, I immediately looked to see if there was a bridge. Sure enough! If you want to walk it, you should know: 1) the entrance on the Beacon side is very easy to find -- just head north out of town and it will be on your left; 2) there isn't any shade so bring water and a hat, as even with the breezes in the summer it can be hot (and I'm sure it's really cold in the winter!); 3) there is some rusting on the bridge so just know that -- it didn't seem dangerous but it definitely isn't maintained like the Brooklyn or Golden Gate bridges; 4) it's a couple miles long and then you need to walk into town (Newburgh on one side or Beacon on the other); 5) there are no bathrooms; 6) you really only can see south -- but it's an amazing view!; 7) you're sharing space with bikes; and 8) there is a ferry from Beacon to Newburgh but only at rush hour in the morning and the evening so plan ahead. We took MetroNorth out of Grand Central to and from Beacon and had a great (if a little long) day. Just be prepared!

This was my first trip here and it was the best time, I came by myself and enjoyed it. I could have spent the entire day, I arrived around 2pm and left around 5. The $5 weekend charge per car was not bad as there is so much staff to assist from start to finish. The variety is so good for fruits and vegetables. I got some free plastic bags from the staff and I picked a variety of apples that cost me under $12. There is a pond, picnic area, goats, chickens, store with honey etc. tasty donuts, pumpkin pie and food if you are hungry, this place is large so even if you see a lot of cars in the queue it’s because they are paying to enter and going to park, there is allot of parking spaces and once you do the farm is so huge you always have allot of space to yourself without feeling its crowded. My favorite part was walking through the orchard and the variety of apples here, I absolutely loved it and will return here. Nice tractor ride too for kids and pumpkin patch. The views of the valley is spectacular with the fall foliage.
