The simplest way for the less adventuresome to see Bannerman's Castle to take the East Shore rail lines (Amtrak from NYC, Yonkers, Croton from the South) or Metro North from any number of Stations. Many trains per day passby going north or south. The site is about 3-4 miles below the I-84 bridge over the Hudson at Newburgh. A more interesting way according to a friend who did it is to canoe from near the I-84 bridge, but you should time your trip with the tides if you can.

Barbara. I'm glad it was a good presentation. I drive to NJ often, but mostly at day time. In fact, I go to visit my son and daughter in-law who live in Hackensack! Before coming to Athens, I lived in Bogota where my husband was the minister of the Bogart Reformed Church. At that time I was teaching music in Jersey City and sad to say that I didn't have much time to look at records at the court house. However, I did visit the "History Room" at the Johnson Library in Hackensack. Ohoooo the "B&W" bakery! One of my other favorite hang outs! Janice Barbara de Mare wrote: > Thank you Janice.

Hi Janice, My 7 year old grandson, to whom I am teaching geography, was reading your message over my shoulder. He wanted to know how you got from Columbia, South America, to Athens, Greece. I was proud of his geographic knowledge, but did realize it was very funny.

Thank you Janice. I had never heard of it either, but someone got them to speak. A very good presentation.

Hi Barbara. That topic about the Bannerman Castle really sounded interesting! I was unaware that it even existed! Wish I could have attended the program, but it is a bit of a trip for me---especially at night. Oh welllllllll.

REMINDER Program for Tuesday, May 22, 2007, 7PM at New City Library Genealogical Society of Rockland County Topic: Bannerman Castle Speaker: Barbara Gottlock co-author of Bannerman Castle. On maps it is Pollopel Island: 6 3/4 acres of mostly rock; 1,000 feet from the eastern shore of the Hudson just north of Cold Spring; 50 miles north of New York City. During the Revolutionary War, patriots unsuccessfully tried to stop the British from advancing north of the island by sinking 106 upright logs tipped in iron points in the Hudson. Later, General George Washington approved plans to use the island as a military prison. The castle's builder, Frank Bannerman VI, was a Scottish patriot, very proud of his descent from one of the few MacDonald's to survive the massacre at Glencoe in 1692. Acting on behalf of the Crown, a rival clan, the Campbells, slaughtered all MacDonald males ages 12-70. One escaped to the hills with the clan banner -- and from that day on, his family name was Bannerman. The Bannerman family immigrated to the United States in 1854, when Frank was three, and settled in Brooklyn. At the close of the Civil War, the U.S. government auctioned off military goods by the ton, mostly to be scrapped for their metal. Young Frank was one of the first to realize that much of what was being sold had a market value higher than scrap. Under his guidance, Bannerman's became the world's largest buyer of surplus military equipment. When they outgrew their store at 501 Broadway in NYC, they looked around for a larger and safer location in which to store their ammunition. Pollopel Island was selected. Frank Bannerman personally designed the island's buildings, docks, turrets, garden walls and moat in the style of old Scottish castles. Almost all of it was done without professional help from architects, engineers and contractors. And all of it was elaborately decorated, from biblical quotations cast into all fireplace mantles, to a shield between the towers with a coat of arms, and a wreath of thistle leaves and flowers. The castle was constructed between 1901 and 1918. It was primarily an ammunitions storage site but the Bannermans summered there too. Attend this interesting talk about a little known architectural wonder and learn about the struggle to maintain its existence.

Absolutely excellent site!!!!!! Thanks

Good Morning,Georgianna I did a quick look in my Lent Family History and your names don't match any of the dates (this was a quick look, though). I'm gone for the weekend, but if you could send your direct email to me at [email protected], I'll take another look when I get back on Sunday. This family history was published in 1903 and is pretty comprehensive. Talk to you soon.
