Blackledge-Kearney

Blackledge-Kearney House, also known as Cornwallis' Headquarters, is located within the Palisades Interstate Park in Alpine, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1750 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1984. Lord Cornwallis was believed to have used the house as a temporary headquarters during his crossing of the Hudson River in 1776 (modern historians dispute this claim).
