Sitting on the bank of the Chemung River, the Newtown Battlefield State Park was where the 1779 Battle of Newtown took place during the American Revolutionary War. The main feature in the park is Sullivan Hill, which played a crucial strategic role in the battle and is now marked with a white granite pillar, and there are several interpretive signs about the battle and the history of the area. Other amenities include a children's playground and several pavilions with picnic tables, and there's even a campground with showers for visitors who want to spend the night.
