People Also Ask
Q:Can you take a tour of West Point?
A:Yes, West Point tours depart from the West Point Visitor Center and can be booked up to three months in advance. Visitors choose between an introductory tour that lasts just over an hour or a 2-hour tour that tags on visits to the West Point Cemetery and Old Cadet Chapel.
Q:Is it worth visiting West Point?
A:Yes, for prospective cadets and anyone interested in US military history, West Point is worth a visit. While the visitor center and museum are free, a tour gives visitors the inside scoop, and it’s worth paying the extra to hear stories and tidbits that you might otherwise miss.
Q:Is the West Point Campus open to the public?
A:West Point Campus is open on certain conditions to the public. Prospective cadets with accompanying guardians and tour visitors are subject to security background checks as West Point is an active-duty military post. The only exemptions are for valid DoD ID card holders who will have already undergone screening.
Q:How hard is it to get into West Point?
A:It’s tough to get accepted into West Point as a cadet as the academy is notoriously selective, demanding academic prowess, leadership potential, and peak physical condition. To get in on a West Point tour, though, it’s a little easier. Book in advance, have your screening documents ready, and enjoy the tour.
Q:Can you tour the West Point Mint?
A:No, there are no West Point Mint public tours, given the security needed to keep its gold bullion safe. However, coin enthusiasts can take in-person tours of the US Mints in Philadelphia and Denver, and those curious about the neighboring West Point Academy can easily book a public tour.
Q:Who is buried at West Point?
A:Many US military leaders and notable figures are buried at West Point Cemetery. From the military, there’s Major General Daniel Butterfield, who wrote the bugle call “Taps,” while other interesting figures include two Sunday school teachers, Susan and Anna Warner, who are (as yet) the sole civilian women buried here.
