Situated in the heart of the Hudson Valley and a Revolutionary War fortress itself, USMA is in a unique position to leverage its resources, expertise, and historical vantage point to advance the public’s historical understanding of the region. To this end, West Point’s Digital History Center recently launched “Hudson Valley in the American Revolution,” a multi-year, collaborative project between West Point cadets and faculty that will represent the Revolutionary Era of the Hudson Valley through a series of digital, interactive story maps. The project explores Hudson Valley battlefields, historical sites, roads, and fortifications related to the Revolutionary War to provide a platform representing each as part of a whole, interconnected, and even dependent network. The Center used its grant award to fund an interactive digital map related to the Battle of New York in 1776. Americana Corner
