About Fort Lee Historic Park
Fort Lee Historic Park is located atop a bluff of the Hudson Palisades overlooking Burdett's Landing, known as Mount Constitution, in Fort Lee, New Jersey, United States. The park was conceived as early as 1952.
Native Americans appear to have lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The bluff was the site of George Washington's 1776 encampment opposite Fort Washington at the northern end of Manhattan. Fort Lee is named for General Charles Lee. The site is a reconstruction of the encampment including the blockhouse, battery, quarters as well as a visitors center. It is part of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.
At the north end of the park there are two overlooks with views of the George Washington Bridge, the Hudson River, and the skyline of Upper Manhattan. Fort Lee Historic Park marks the site of an important Revolutionary War encampment. It was a key defensive position used by the Continental Army in 1776 to protect the Hudson River from British forces.
