Fort Montgomery blends Revolutionary War history with everyday ease along the Hudson River’s dramatic bend by the Bear Mountain Bridge. At the heart of town, the interpretive trails and ruins at the Fort Montgomery State Historic Site offer evocative views and engaging programs for all ages, complemented by living-history events and a top-notch visitor center. Minutes away, Bear Mountain State Park delivers four-season recreation—lake loops, summit vistas, ballfields, an outdoor ice rink, and the family-favorite Trailside Museums and Zoo—making weekend plans effortless.
Residents appreciate proximity to Highland Falls and West Point, where the United States Military Academy Visitor Center and the West Point Museum add world-class culture to a small-town setting. Dining, galleries, and riverfront festivals in Cornwall and Newburgh are a short drive, while wider employment and shopping options across Orange County keep daily errands simple.
Families are served by the Highland Falls–Fort Montgomery Central School District, known for close-knit schools, strong arts and athletics, and a community that shows up on game night. James I. O’Neill High School continues that tradition with competitive programs and college-ready coursework. Housing ranges from wooded hillside homes to river-view retreats, and commuters value quick connections via 9W and the Palisades Interstate Parkway.
