Old West Point East and Old Albany Post Roads

Old Albany Post Road

  Nestled in the Hudson Highlands is the oldest road in New York State, Old Albany Post Road. The six-mile unpaved road has been in continuous use since 1669.  General George Washington marched his troops on the dirt road during the Revolutionary War.  With mile markers placed by Benjamin Franklin in 1769 and double-sided stone walls, it is a living monument to the country's foundation and independence.  

Old Road Society Mission
