Creator	unknown
Date.Original	unknown
Description	Looking down the Hudson River towards the shore and a mountain. This mountain was undoubtedly named for its conical shape which resembles an old fashioned cone or loaf of sugar. The mountain was part of the Beverly Robinson estate at the time of the Revolution and served as a back drop to his mansion. In the late 1800's William Henry Osborn bought up all the land around Sugar Loaf Mountain. The Osborn castle was built on Castle Rock, the mountain just north of Sugar Loaf. In 1974, William Henry Osborn's descendants donated Sugar Loaf and the surrounding land to the Taconic State Park Commission.
