Pollepel Island, more commonly known as Bannerman Island, officially kicked off the tour season on May 4, but members of the press were invited to visit the island, earlier last week, and see, first-hand, the progress of restoration efforts.
On May 25, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held, on Bannerman Island, to mark the opening of a new bridge, constructed by 11 West Point cadets majoring in civil and mechanical engineering.
