Has anyone from your organization approached New York state officials concerning the viability of restoring the early 19th century castle on Bannerman’s Island just north of the town of Cold Spring? Located just offshore of the east bank, the castle, and Bannerman’s home, have been neglected for many years. When traveling by train, there are a good many people who marvel at this unique historic sight. Most definitely, the restoration of same would complement the romanticism of the Hudson Valley.
