National Register listed Owl Hill commemorates Battle of Fort Slongo

Nationally prominent patent attorney and historic preservationist Edmund Wetmore (1838-1918) appears to have bought land on a Fort Salonga hill in 1903, because it was minutes from the historic site of the Battle of Fort Slongo. This American victory Oct. 3, 1781, during the Revolutionary War garnered high praise from Gen. George Washington for the strategic planning of Col. Benjamin Tallmadge (1754-1835) that included then Tallmadge’s own personal reconnaissance. At the time, Tallmadge was also director of intelligence for Long Island’s Culper Spy Ring. Wetmore’s home and estate at Fort Salonga, purchased by Suffolk County in 2024 and now known as Owl Hill County Park, was recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
