The Town of New Windsor Police Department recently responded to a call of illegal dumping in the area of Forge Hill Road and Butternut Drive. Upon arrival, officers located a pile of construction debris that was dumped in the area of Brewster’s Forge, an Orange County Park and historical landmark.

On January 13th, the Town of New Windsor Buildings & Grounds Department responded and removed all of the garbage from the area of Brewster’s Forge. The next day, members of the Orange County Department of Public Works responded and placed large boulders to prevent vehicles from being able to travel down the path from Forge Hill Road, to Brewster’s Forge. This will hopefully prevent anymore illegal dumping upon this historical site, without preventing residents from parking and accessing the area on foot. The New Windsor Police Department appreciates the assistance of the New Windsor Buildings & Grounds staff and the Orange County Department of Public Works in helping to improve and preserve this historical landmark.
