Hudson River History
My husband grew up on the bank of the Hudson River, and considering his passion for history it’s hardly surprising that he’d be fascinated by the ruins of Bannerman’s Castle on Pollepel Island. In the last couple of years, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has let the Bannerman Castle Trust lead walking tours.
Andy’s parents took us on the tour Saturday, and oh my gods but it’s a wonderful little excursion. Well worth the $30 a head between the very relaxing boat ride out and back and the hour-and-a-half tour of the grounds around the old arms warehouse and the hilltop residence of the Bannerman family who used to own it.
And, yes, we took pictures. But WordPress seems to be having trouble uploading files just now, so sharing those will have to wait.

Bannermans is one of our favorite places but there are tons of great outdoor venues if you consider visiting again !
