GREENBUSH CANTONMENT
(1812-1819) East Greenbush, New York
A 400-acre post that was the headquarters of the Northern Division of the U.S. Army. Built here were eight two-story barracks, three officers' quarters, hospital, two commissaries, arsenal, armory, guardhouses, magazine and stables around a parade ground.
Inactivated and then sold in 1831.
All buildings were removed except one of the officers' quarters which then became a private residence. This structure still exists today at 250 McCullough Place (provate property).
The Red Mill Elementary School occupies the parade ground.
