Steuben Memorial State Historic Site is a significant landmark in Steuben, New York, dedicated to honoring Baron von Steuben, the Drillmaster of the American Revolution. Known for his invaluable contributions to the ill-trained American army during the war, Steuben transformed them into a formidable fighting force at Valley Forge. His influential program and authorship of the Blue Book continue to shape military training and organization. The site features the two-room log house where Steuben spent his summers until his death, and his final resting place is marked by a monument erected in 1870.
Managed in partnership with the National Park Service at Fort Stanwix National Monument, Steuben Memorial State Historic Site offers visitors the opportunity to explore the grounds daily from dawn until dusk. With free admission and accessible tours, the site provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of Baron von Steuben, a key figure in American history.
