Additional Details:
The Van Cortlandt Manor is a fine, old historical stone edifice, which is located in the lower part of Van Cortlandt Park, and dates from 1748. It is now owned by the city and used as a museum for relics of the Revolution being furnished as it might have been in old historic days. General Washington twice occupied the house, once when watching the British troops under General Howe, and again when the war was over, resting here prior to entering the city on the evacuation of the British Army
