Day Trips: A Short Drive To West Point
BY BOB & SANDY NESOFF
Highland Falls, N.Y. is a quaint little town sitting atop the cliffs overlooking the Hudson River. But from this serene vantage point, some of the greatest military minds in U.S. history have come to defend the country in wars from the Revolution to Afghanistan.
Home to the world-famed military academy at West Point, the area attracts visitors, literally by the busload, as they come to see first-hand the greatness that has emanated from the granite walls of West Point.
