BOSCOBEL LOYALIST TRAIL
For an adventure with a twist, explore the other half of Revolutionary History with the Boscobel House and Garden's Loyalist Trail. The program was created by the Boscobel House and Gardens of Garrison, New York. The Golden Ball Tavern Museum is one of the featured Loyalist sites on this trail which includes historic sites in Ontario, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts.
As we mark 250 years of American Independence, explore the human stories behind Revolutionary-era loyalties. The Loyalist sites featured on this map—and beyond—bring to life the uncertainty, risk, and deeply personal, cultural, and economic ties that divided families and communities so profoundly. While often dismissed by history as the “losing side,” most Loyalists remained in, or returned to, the United States after the war, becoming as American as their Patriot counterparts. Navigating these sites and their histories offers a richer, more nuanced understanding of America’s founding and the people who lived through it.
