Preserving the Hudson Valley’s Role in the American Revolution: U.S. Military Academy at West Point

This Preserving America profile features the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York, the preeminent institution in America for producing commissioned officers for the United States Army. Situated in the heart of the Hudson Valley and a Revolutionary War fortress itself, USMA is in a unique position to leverage its resources, expertise, and historical vantage point to advance the public’s historical understanding of the region.
To this end, West Point’s Digital History Center recently launched “Hudson Valley in the American Revolution,” a multi-year, collaborative project between West Point cadets and faculty that will represent the Revolutionary Era of the Hudson Valley through a series of digital, interactive story maps. The project explores Hudson Valley battlefields, historical sites, roads, and fortifications related to the Revolutionary War to provide a platform representing each as part of a whole, interconnected, and even dependent network. The Center used its grant award to fund an interactive digital map related to the Battle of New York in 1776.
The Preserving America Grant Program series profiles recipients that are telling the incredible story of our country from its founding era through its first century as a nation. View the profiles on our website at www.americanacorner.com/prese....

I grew up next to West Point in Cornwall. Videographers must always include photos of the Cadet Chapel, Officers’ Club, and Trophy Point if one is to talk about USMA.
