About
Bannerman Island Gallery is the Bannerman Castle Trust's storefront at 150 Main St on the west end of Beacon's Main Street. It's a good first stop to learn the island's story before taking a boat tour out to the castle.
What's Inside
The gallery shows fine art and historic and contemporary photographs alongside Bannerman Island antiques, artifacts, books and gifts, with work by Hudson Valley artists including Virginia Donovan and Mary Ann Glass.
The Trust
The Bannerman Castle Trust is a volunteer-run nonprofit "Friends" group that has worked with New York State Parks for more than 30 years. It took the island from overgrown ruins to the public destination it is today, and sales at the gallery help support that work.
Tours
Guided cruise-and-walking tours to the island leave from the Beacon dock in season, and gift certificates are available year-round.
