We remember.

We remember the thousands of brave rescue workers and civilians who perished as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. We remember those who selflessly gave their lives while desperately trying to save the lives of others. They are heroes who will not be forgotten.

We remember beloved fallen firefighter Dennis P. McHugh (Engine 22 Ladder 13) for whom our library is named. The generosity of the Dennis P. McHugh Foundation enabled the construction of the Library’s beautiful building overlooking Flywheel Park and the Hudson River, a symbol of the collective spirit and positive power of community strength to overcome adversity. His memory and legacy are with us always.

We shall never forget!

“When Americans lend a hand to one another, nothing is impossible. We’re not about what happened on 9/11. We’re about what happened on 9/12.”

Coming up on Monday!
Join us on Monday, September 9th at 6:30 pm, for this special film screening. Piermont Historical Society's third award-winning documentary, "ALL ABOARD! Next Stop Piermont" will take you back to a time when two Railroads literally put Piermont on the map. PHS debuted the film at the Village Hall last November to a standing-room-only crowd. In April, "ALL ABOARD! Next Stop Piermont" garnered the "Best Local Documentary" award at the Nyack International Film Festival.
You are sure to enjoy this unique Tale of Two Railroads! Following the screening, members of the Piermont Historical Society will be 'on board' 😉 for a Q&A. The film is approximately 30 minutes long.

Piermont Pier - “Last Stop U.S.A.”

During World War Two, 40,000 U.S. troops per month, including many Piermont residents, passed this spot en route to the end of Piermont Pier, the largest port of embarkation on the East Coast, where ships were waiting to transport them to military duty in war-torn Europe. Many of these troops landed on the shores of France where the invasion began on June 6, 1944.

Thus this area came to be known as “Last Stop U.S.A.”

After the war came to a victorious conclusion, some 533,869 men returned home to the U.S.A. first setting foot on their homeland at the end of that same Piermont Pier.

There is a plaque dedicated to the honor of those who served and the sacred memory of those who never returned.

“Lest We Forget,” many men who embarked from Piermont never returned.

This plaque is dedicated to the honor of those who served and the sacred memory of those who never returned.

Dedicated 1994

History of the Village

Early Exploration Henry Hudson sailed up the river that would bear his name in 1609. Although there is no record of his crew setting foot here, the Sparkill provides the first natural break in the Palisades and would have invited exploration. This break, and the creek that ran through it, provides a passageway to the interior, making it an ideal place for commerce and trade. The first commercial settlement grew up along the creek, which was then called Tappan Slote . The area around the present day Rockland Road Bridge was the first settlement of a few buildings, including a gristmill. A dam had been built at this location to provide power for the millwheels, and the millpond exists to this day.

Revolutionary Era The Onderdonk House, at the corner of Ritie Street and Piermont Avenue, was the home of declared patriots and was a target fired upon by British ships. In 1783, at the end of the war, George Washington met with Sir Guy Carleton, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in America. General Washington dined aboard Carleton’s ship, the HMS Perseverance, anchored in the river off the Onderdonk House. Upon boarding the ship, Washington was greeted with a 17-gun salute, the first recognition of our new sovereign nation.

Industry Piermont, as we know it, was developed in the 1830s when the Erie Railroad began the project of creating rail service from New York City to Lake Erie. The railroad created a long pier extending almost a mile out to the deep water channel of the Hudson to access barges to NYC. In 1839, Eleazar Lord, owner of the Erie Railroad, decided that Tappan Slote should be renamed Piermont, combining a reference to the Erie pier and the mountain above on which he was building his country estate.
