What a great place to visit full of history and significance. It was a lovely tour of West Point and I really enjoyed seeing where so many big names is our nation's military history have come from. Cannot recommend this enough and if you have the time, it is a must-see location.
The view of the Hudson are beautiful and the museum is detailed and fantastic to behold.
Been to West Point a number of times. Spectacular views with a lot of historic buildings and sights. Did work as a junior cook in early 2000’s morning shifts at The Jungle restaurant which was on base. Feeding the cadets and military personnel breakfast and lunch. Visiting some of their sporting facilities and West Point museum & gift shop. Several times attending their West Point Graduation ceremonies.
Visited while staying st Camp Natural Bridge. Beautiful place and full of rich history.
A must visit if in the area. Easily one of the most beautiful and impressive college campuses in the country. Add in all the history and it can't be beat. The continuous improvement to the grounds and campus is welcome while balancing to the historic nature of the Academy. Beat Navy!
This organization produced a series of Toxic Leaders in the past like (RET) COL Helberg Shannon E. A disgrace for West Point and the US Army. Leaders like this are taken care in many ways…..
Great medieval-esque building. Largest building in US without use of steel.
A national treasure! Parts are left just as they were a few hundred years ago- other parts are as current as a year or so ago. History is everywhere as you could imagine here. In order to see West Point you either have to go in a tour bus or get a pass from under the store to self drive through.
Historic place of learning. If you get a chance to visit then you'll appreciate the architecture and the history all around this place
