The John Haskell House, also known as the Hermitage, was a historic home located in New Windsor, Orange County, New York.

The builder of the house, Colonel John Haskell, served as a steward for Brigadier Robert Hunter, colonial governor of New York and New Jersey from 1710 — 1720.

[3] In 1721, Colonel John Haskell obtained a grant of an additional 2,000 acres backing the lands of William Chambers, who acquired it a decade prior.

Haskell himself maintained a central plot near the base of the hill, where he constructed a large log manor house after settling the grant.

In the roughly eight-year period after the Wood's transfer, Moses Fowler owned a 229-acre portion of it, in turn selling it to Sylvannus Dusenbury on September 19, 1769.

The Orange County Citizens Foundation mobilized to conduct research on the house, with plans to restore and open it as a museum.
