Garrison is a hamlet in Putnam County and a unique weekend getaway from NYC. It is part of Philipstown, on the east side of the Hudson River, across the river from the United States Military Academy at West Point. A century ago, its beauty was immortalized by painters of the Hudson River School. Garrison is home of the Boscobel, a historic house museum built for States Dyckman and his family in the early 19th century. Located south of Garrison, a short distance from the Bear Mountain Bridge, Manitoga was the estate and home of industrial designer Russel Wright. Graymoor is the headquarters of the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Atonement. Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary is a tidal marsh, that serves as crucial natural habitat in the Hudson River Estuary.
