This NYS historic landmark was built in 1751 by Revolutionary War Patriot Isaac Garrison. He fought and was captured by the British at the Battle of Fort Montgomery in October of 1777.  The New York State Historic Site has a pewter charger plate on loan from Peebles Island that belonged to him.

Before the construction of State Route 9W, the Revolutionary Road once ran through the property for travelers going North on this side of the Hudson.

Around 1786, while stationed with the invalid regiment at West Point, Captain Molly Corbin, another Revolutionary Patriot lived here as a boarder for a time under the care of a Mrs. Randall.  She was the first woman to receive a pension for wartime service.

In later years, the front porch and rear living quarters were added on (circa 1924) and The Chimney Corner Tea House was born.  The proprieters were Walter and Bertha Garrison and it is our understanding that there was good food and good times during that period in the house's history.

In 2007 the home was purchased and operates as a B&B and Gift Shoppe, aptly called "The Garrison House".
