The Fishkill Encampment and Supply Depot was critical to the success of the 
Continental Army during the American Revolution and was central to the 
founding of the United States.  Documents show that its importance to 
General Washington as an essential military facility cannot be 
overestimated.  The Depot played a vital role in the victory of the 
Continental Army over British forces during the American Revolution, and is 
therefore listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is a 
highly unusual and significant part of the historical heritage of the Town 
of Fishkill, of the State of New York and of the United States of America.

Please view the website:  www.fishkill-historical-focus.org.  Impending 
commercial development threatens wooded acres belonging to this great 
historic site.  The website provides a link to a petition currently being 
circulated.

Thank you.
