Fort Lee Museum

It was built in 1922 with an exterior of bluestone quarried from the Hudson Palisades atop which Fort Lee is situated.

[1] The building was slated for demolition in 1989 but community intervention prevented its destruction and the borough purchased it.

[3] The museum has collections which speak the long history of Fort Lee and surrounding communities such as the Battle of Fort Lee, America's first motion picture industry, the George Washington Bridge and Palisades Amusement Park.

[1][4] Monument Park was built by the Daughters of the American Revolution and dedicated in 1908 at ceremony attended by General John "Black Jack" Pershing.

The park was part of the original Fort Constitution of the Continental Army under the leadership of General George Washington.
