The academy is located approximately {{convert|50|mi|km}} north of New York City on the western bank of the [[Hudson River]]. Based on the significance both of the [[American Revolution|Revolutionary War]] fort ruins and of the military academy itself, the majority of the academy area was declared a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1960.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=405&ResourceType=District|title=United States Military Academy|publisher=National Historic Landmarks Program|accessdate=2009-01-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000562.pdf|format=PDF|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: United States Military Academy|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2009-01-04}}</ref> In 1841, [[Charles Dickens]] visited the academy and said "It could not stand on more appropriate ground, and any ground more beautiful can hardly be."<ref>Simpson (1982), p. 13.</ref> Though the entire military reservation encompasses{{convert|15974|acre|km2|0|sp=us}}, the academic area of the campus, known as "central area" or "the cadet area", is entirely accessible to cadets or visitors by foot.<ref name="size"/>
In 1902, the Boston architectural firm [[Bertram Goodhue|Cram, Goodhue, and Ferguson]] was awarded a major construction contract that set the predominantly [[Gothic Revival architecture|neogothic]]architectural style still seen today.<ref name="cram">Palka (2008), p. 27.</ref> The academy grounds are home to numerous monuments and statues.

A monument to [[George S. Patton]] was dedicated in front of the cadet library in 1950,<ref>Palka (2008), p. 179.</ref> but in 2004 it was placed in storage to make room for the construction of Jefferson Hall and has yet to be relocated.  There is also a statue commemorating brotherhood and friendship from the [[L'Ecole Polytechnique]] in the cadet central area just outside Nininger Hall. The remaining campus area is home to 27 other monuments and memorials.<ref>Miller (2002), pp. 128&ndash;130.</ref>

The [[West Point Cemetery]] is the final resting place of many notable graduates and faculty, including [[George Armstrong Custer]], [[William Westmoreland]], [[Earl Blaik]], [[Maggie Dixon]], and sixteen [[Medal of Honor]] recipients.<ref name="cem">Poughkeepsie (2003), p. 16.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dean.usma.edu/departments/history/web03/staff_rides/sret%20pages/wp%20cemetery/index.htm|title=West Point Cemetery|publisher=USMA Office of the Dean|accessdate=2009-01-04}}</ref> The cemetery is also the burial place of several recent graduates who have died during the ongoing Global War on Terror. Many of the older grave sites have large and ornate grave markers, the largest belonging to [[Egbert Viele]] (class of 1847), chief engineer of [[Brooklyn]]'s [[Prospect Park (Brooklyn)|Prospect Park]].<ref name="cem"/> The cemetery is also home to a monument to[[American Revolution|Revolutionary War]] heroine [[Margaret Corbin]].<ref>{{cite web |title =Corbin |publisher =USMA Department of History |url =http://www.dean.usma.edu/departments/history/web03/staff_rides/sret%20pages/wp%20cemetery/gs06.htm|accessdate =2009-01-14}}</ref>

West Point is home to historic athletic facilities like [[Michie Stadium]] and Gillis Field House as well as modern facilities such as the Licthenburg Tennis Center, Anderson Rugby Complex, and the Lou Gross Gymnastics Facility.<ref>{{cite web |title =Blaik Field at Michie Stadium |publisher =GoArmySports.com |url =http://www.goarmysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11100&ATCLID=324139 |accessdate =2009-01-13}}</ref>  Michie Stadium recently underwent a significant upgrade in facilities for the football team, and the academy installed a new artificial turf field in the summer of 2008.<ref>{{cite web |title =FieldTurf is the Choice for Army's Legendary Michie Stadium |publisher =Reuters |url =http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS188746+31-Jul-2008+PNW20080731 |accessdate =2009-01-13}}</ref>

The visitor's center is just outside the Thayer Gate in the village of [[Highland Falls, NY|Highland Falls]] and offers the opportunity to arrange for a guided tour. These tours, which are the only way the general public can access the academy grounds, leave the visitor's center several times a day. The West Point Museum is directly adjacent to the visitor's center, in the renovated Olmsted Hall on the grounds of the former Ladycliff College. Originally opened to the public in 1854, the West Point Museum is the oldest military museum in the country.<ref name="museum">Poughkeepsie (2003), p. 7.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usma.edu/Museum/|title=The West Point Museum|publisher=United States Military Academy|accessdate=2009-02-03}}</ref> During the summer months, the museum operates access to the Fort Putnam historic site on main post.<ref>{{cite web|title="Fort Putnam"|publisher=United States Military Academy|url=http://www.usma.army.mil/Tour/FortPutnam.asp|accessdate=2009-01-18}}</ref>

The [[United States Military Academy]] (USMA) is an undergraduate college in [[West Point, New York]] that educates and [[Officer (armed forces)|commissions]] officers for the [[United States Army]] during the [[American Civil War]]. The Academy was founded in 1802 and graduated its first class in October of the same year. It is the oldest of the five American [[Military academy|service academies]]. Sports media refer to the Academy as "Army" and the students as "Cadets"; this usage is officially endorsed.<ref name="qfacts">{{cite web|url=http://www.goarmysports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11100&KEY=&ATCLID=323967|title=Quick Facts|publisher=United States Military Academy (USMA)|accessdate= 2009-03-04}}</ref> A small number of graduates each year choose the option of entering the [[United States Air Force]], [[United States Navy]], or [[United States Marine Corps]]. Before the founding of the [[United States Air Force Academy]] in 1955, the Academy was a major source of officers for the Air Force and [[History of the United States Air Force|its predecessors]].

<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<big>'''Howdy!'''</big> (Hello!) I am Ahodges7.  I originally got involved as a contributer at Wikipedia because of the poor content involving topics related to the [[United States Military Academy]]. I am a graduate of both West Point, where I received a BS in History, and [[Texas A&M University|Texas A&M]], where I received an MS in Kinesiology.  My real job in the [[United States Army]] is as an [[United States Army Aviation Branch|Aviation Branch]] officer, which means that I get to command and serve on the staffs of army aviation units.  Also, I occasionally get to fly [[AH-64 Apache|Longbow Apache helicopters]]. 

One of my hobbies is amateur photography.  I've contributed a few photos over at Wikimedia Commons, most of which you can see if you click on the images icon above.  

My ability to edit wikipedia is a fluctuating hobby.  I edit when I can, and while school is in session, I don't have as much time as I'd like.  Being stationed as an instructor at West Point affords me many unique opportunities to research topics at the academy's library, especially topics relating to the academy.  If you need a photo of something at the academy, I can take it.  If you're looking for an obscure print reference pertaining to the academy, I can probably check it out from the library.
When I can, I help [[User:Rlevse|Rlevse]] work on the West Point Alumni lists.  Admittedly, my duty motivation to help him has waned a bit.  Please help him out if you are so inclined.  
Another of my hobbies is gardening, and I've recently began adding photos of specimen trees from around the campus here at West Point.  So many articles about trees have too few, if any, good photos! Its hard to get stuff to grow here in NY.  I spent nearly 8 years in central Texas and grew up in Florida, so having sub zero temps for half the year is not my cup of tea.
