The Hudson River has a rich place in American History and the industrial revolution. Pollopel Island, sometimes known as Bannerman's Island, is a testament to the power a river has over people and vice versa.

Today, the castle is the property of New York State, and is protected by a not-for-profit Trust. Governments and the non-profit sector working together are often successful partnerships in protecting public resources like the Hudson River. Together we can assure a future as vital and promising as its rich past.
