Welcome to Peekskill
The 48 Mile Stone
This approximately 250 year old mile marker is located against the building at 942 South Street. These mile markers were placed in the 1760s for calculating mail delivery rates along the New York City to Albany Post Road, as conceived by postmaster Benjamin Franklin. Peekskill has a “47” milestone on Lower South Street, and a “49” milestone at 1000 North Division Street.
