Constructed in 1975 on top of a 1909 structure, the McLean Historical Museum Building was modeled after the Revolutionary War officer's hut and "The Temple" located at the New Windsor Cantonment (12 miles north of West Point) and designed as a type of barracks building which could have stood in Fort Putnam. Historical records indicate that in 1780 there was a "slight wooden barrack" in the fort. The museum building contains historical and archeological displays portraying the military history of the Hudson Highlands and West Point, 1775-1783, and a special terrain model which explains the history in sound and light. The building was constructed through the generosity of Colonel Henry Charles McLean, Class of 1912 United States Military Academy, 1975.
