Outside your Fort Lee Home: Monument Park

General George Washington ordered the building of fortifications in Fort Lee (then called Fort Constitution) in the summer of 1776. Following the fall of New York to British occupation, the Continental Army, under the leadership of Washington, crossed the Hudson River and scaled the Palisades to man the fortifications on the bluffs of Fort Lee. Washington, who named our town in honor of General Charles Lee, designated the area of what is now Monument Park and Fort Lee Museum, as an encampment for his troops. The Fort Lee Museum and the adjacent Monument Park occupy sacred soil in the history of our nation.

Thomas Paine wrote of his experiences in Fort Lee in his famous work “The American Crisis”.
