Frequently Asked Questions
At the foot of the cliff on the Hudson, in one of the valley's most solemn landscapes. The river makes a double bend here so tight that 18th-century sailing ships had to slow to negotiate it.
No. The campus remains an active military installation and free movement is not allowed. Passengers board buses for one- to two-hour guided tours organized from the visitor centre, photo ID in hand.
Yes, photo identification is required for all adult visitors. River cruise lines generally build the tour into their programming, which simplifies the formalities.
An overlook taking in the river, the Highlands and Constitution Island. It holds cannon captured in various wars and thirteen links of the Great Chain. The Battle Monument, a granite column dedicated to the Civil War dead, stands over the plain where cadets parade.

Completed in 1910, it blends Gothic and fortress styles in a way seen nowhere else. Its organ, enlarged decade after decade, ranks among the largest in any place of worship in the world.
Yes. The West Point Museum sits near the visitor centre, outside the restricted perimeter. Admission is free and no reservation is needed. It holds one of the largest military collections on the continent, from colonial muskets to contemporary conflicts.
Grant, Lee, Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur, but also astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Confederate president Jefferson Davis. Guides, often former service members, are happy to explain the traditions of the Corps of Cadets.
