Ebersole Ice Rink. It was one of the first, and still is one of the few, municipally owned ice-skating rinks.

George Washington’s Headquarters (Purdy House). This historic house served as Washington’s headquarters during the Battle of White Plains. The battle resulted in a draw but preserved the Continental Army and enabled Washington to fight on.
