About
This old Army base defended New York Harbor from 1895 all the way to 1974. You can walk more than 100 historic buildings, including old gun batteries and even a Cold War-era Nike missile site used to track nuclear weapons. Kids can bike the flat multi-use path that runs right through the fort, and there's a restored 1898 officer's home called History House furnished to look like the 1940s. Free to visit, with public restrooms right on site. Museum is open seasonally
