Marian shrine is the place to go by yourself or with others. To walk the property is so peaceful. A place to pray or meditate you can do with 40 different statues and my favorite The Rosary Madonna. There is daily mass and a nice gift store.

On a roundtrip vacation of the Hudson River Valley, my family visited the Stony Point Battlefield and Lighthouse located on the westside of the Hudson River, around 46 miles North of NYC and 14 miles South of West Point. We're glad we did. After parking in their lot with a view of the Hudson River, we walked up the hill to the state park's Museum. (Given the slope of the hill and the park in general, wheelchairs will have some challenges). I highly recommend visiting this state park when the Museum is open where the park managers have a relief map of the Battleground structures during Revolutionary War times and they recount the events that transpired here. The strategies of the British, General “Mad Anthony” Wayne and George Washington are intriguing and the threat that the British fortifications here posed to West Point (and the future of our country) was something I wasn't aware of. The small museum also contains various exhibits, some muskets, swords and spontoon, uniforms and other interesting displays. Outside the Museum, and along the sloping pathways, are several elevated observation points of the Hudson River, historical markers, a picnic pavilion and the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River. Walking around the park with its panoramic views of the Hudson and the boat marinas south of the park and on the eastern shore offered a number of picture taking opportunities. As this is a small and contained state park, it doesn't take long to walk from one end of the park to the other side. I think this state park is a real jewel for history buffs. Admission to the Stony Point Battlefield and Lighthouse was free for us. Per their park rules, no pets are allowed. Shortly after visiting the Stony Point Battlefield, we visited the West Point Military Academy and learned about its history. Our Stony Point visit was a good segue into our West Point visit.
