Schumer Legislation to Help Fishkill Revolutionary War Camp Access Federal Preservation Dollars Set to Clear Major Legislative Hurdle

Named over three decades ago as "the last of the important Revolutionary War sites yet to be properly explored," the Fishkill Supply Depot remains so today: a one-of-a-kind site of national importance that has never gotten its due. Fishkill, New York, contains a key strategic center of the American Revolution, established and visited repeatedly by George Washington. Hallowed history happened here - hundreds of the original soldiers who fought to found the nation died and were buried here in unknown graves.

19th-century view of the area that had housed the Fishkill Supply Depot encampment a century earlier. The view is not entirely unfamiliar to anyone driving south from Fishkill on Route 9 today, going by Home Depot heading towards the Hudson Highlands.
