It holds the Captors' Monument and surviving elements of an 1892 Beaux-Arts plan for Brookside Park by Carrere and Hastings.","why_significant":"The park is tied to the 1780 capture of British Major John Andre, who carried Benedict Arnold's West Point plans, by three Westchester men. Its monument, first dedicated in 1853, is one of the earliest memorials to an American Revolution event. The park also keeps the gatehouse, oval drive and water-axis treatment from the 1892 Beaux-Arts plan by Carrere and Hastings.","narrative":"Patriots' Park is a four-acre public park on Route 9A, split by Andre Brook, which marks the boundary between Tarrytown and North Tarrytown. It commemorates the September 1780 capture of Major John Andre, a British officer disguised as a civilian and carrying Benedict Arnold's plans for betraying West Point. Three local men, John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart and David Williams, stopped him about two hundred yards east of the site. A monument to them was first dedicated in 1853 on land donated by free Black property owners, and it was redesigned in 1880 with a bronze statue of Paulding. In 1892 the site became Brookside Park, a residential development laid out by Carrere and Hastings. The houses are gone, but the gatehouse, gateposts, stone walls, oval drive, basin and arched bridges remain. Later given to the two villages, the park is used for recreation and sits beside a civic center.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Carrere and Hastings","architectural_style":"Beaux-Arts","criteria":[],"status_note":"Public park in good condition, used for active and passive recreation.
