Here we are at the Point of the Rocks. This is where George Washington came down to see what's going on when he left New York City. He ended up at the Morris-Jumel Mansion up on West 166th Street. Early that morning, Washington realized he can feint the British into the Hollows Way to get Knowlton’s Rangers to flank them and surround them. Our next stop is Morningside Park along Amsterdam Ave & West 123rd Street.
