New Windsor Cantonment was a military encampment established during the American Revolutionary War. Located in New Windsor, New York, it served as the main base for the Continental Army from 1782 to 1783. The site was chosen for its strategic position along the Hudson River, allowing easy access to supplies and troop movements. The cantonment housed thousands of soldiers, including notable figures like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. It played a crucial role in the final stages of the war, providing a place for troops to regroup and prepare for future operations. Today, the site is preserved as a historic landmark.
