Steuben Memorial State Historic Site in Remsen, NY, pays tribute to Baron von Steuben, recognized as the "Drillmaster of the American Revolution." Von Steuben played a pivotal role in revitalizing the American army during the Revolutionary War by transforming them into a formidable fighting force at Valley Forge. His enduring legacy includes the creation of the "Blue Book," a foundational military training manual still referenced today.
After the war, von Steuben was rewarded for his service with a life annuity and a parcel of land in New York State, where he resided in a modest log house until his passing in 1794. His final resting place at the "Sacred Grove" is marked by a monument erected in 1870, commemorating his invaluable contributions to American independence. Managed in partnership with the National Park Service, Steuben Memorial State Historic Site invites visitors to explore the rich history and legacy of this esteemed military leader.
