Pollepel Island

Bannerman Island is a tiny spit of land in central New York, 50 miles north of New York City on the Hudson River. Originally known as Pollepel Island, the little island was famous for ghost stories, and local Native Americans would only visit there during the day. The island was utilized by early Dutch settlers as a signal marking the completion of a difficult route across the Hudson highlands, and it also functioned as a vital defense position for patriots during the Revolutionary War.


Isn't there nothing more romantic than an abandoned castle? The remains of Bannerman Castle, located on the 6.5-acre Pollepel Island in the Hudson River (you've probably seen it from your window if you've ever traveled Metro-Hudson North's Line), will leave you both captivated. The remains of what was once a military surplus warehouse constructed to appear like a Scottish castle may be seen up close by arranging a 2.5-hour boat and guided walking tour that leaves from Beacon, NY.


Cost: $40 per person.
