Next I crossed Ringwood to Ringwood State Park. Ringwood State Park consists of 3 separate areas: Ringwood Manor, Skylands Manor, and Sheperd Lake. This is Ringwood Manor. Ringwood Manor was one of George Washington's HQs during the Revolutionary War. Ringwood was a major iron mining area and iron from Ringwood mines was used for the chain drawn across the Hudson River just south of West Point, NY. Over the years Ringwood Manor was home to Robert Erskine, Martin Ryerson, Peter Cooper, and Abram Hewitt, all prominent names in Revolutionary, as well as Ringwood, history.
