- Constitution_Island abstract "Constitution Island is located in the Hudson River, just south of Cold Spring (Putnam County) New York. The island was given to the United States of America in 1909, and since then has been administered by the United States Military Academy.Known as Martelaer's Rock in colonial times, it was renamed Constitution Island in 1775. Continental forces fortified the island with artillery batteries and redoubts during the War of American Independence. The island is perhaps best known as the eastern anchor-point for the Great Chain, a massive iron structure that stretched across the narrow bend in the Hudson between the island and the mainland at West Point. The chain was intended to prevent British naval vessels from navigating freely along the Hudson. It remained in place (except during months when ice blocked the river) from 1778 to 1782. After the war, Constitution Island returned to civilian use.The Warner House is a National Historic Landmark located on Constitution Island, administered by the United States Military Academy. The Warner family owned the island and lived in the house from 1838 to 1915. Sisters Susan Bogert Warner and Anna Bartlett Warner were popular, prolific novelists whose works sold millions of copies in the U.S., England and elsewhere. The Warner sisters are recognized as among the most significant American women writers of the nineteenth century.Until recently, the Warner House and surrounding gardens were open to the public in warm weather on a limited basis. The Constitution Island Association, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1916, traditionally provided historic and cultural tours for visitors to the island and maintained the extensive gardens surrounding the Warner House. In 2007, however, the Military Academy closed the Warner House to visitors because the structure had been allowed to fall into disrepair. The Military Academy has made no significant repairs to the house since then, and it remains closed to the public. For more information, visit: http://www.constitutionisland.org/wp/.
