Notes
  • Significance: For over 100 years, the U.S. has maintained a military presence at the site of the now closed Plattsburgh AFB. During the Civil War, Union troops organized and departed from the base; during the Spanish-American War, the 21st Infantry departed for Cuba from the base; the first Reserve Officer Training Corps originated at the base; and during the height of the Cold War, the strategic bomber units and refueling wings based at Plattsburgh AFB proved to be the U.S. foremost deterrence against Soviet nuclear aggression.
  • Survey number: HAER NY-326
