There’s fascinating Revolutionary War history in White Plains. The Battle of White Plains Park is one of the Revolutionary War Heritage Trail Sites. During the Battle, American troops under General George Washington were forced off Chatteron’s Hill after inflicting heavy casualties on British troops, checking their advance into Westchester. This park, along with many other green spaces in White Plains makes being outdoors in the city very enjoyable.
