Originally a prominent industrial city, Beacon manufactured civil war guns, bricks and buttons, and was once known as the hat-making capital of New York. In the 1900s, Beacon drew large crowds who came to experience the Incline Railroad, which took them to a casino overlooking the city. At the time, this railroad was the steepest funicular in the world. Today, this location has become a highly popular lookout point and is now part of the expansive Hudson Highlands State Park.
