West Point is an active military instillation, so it is important that you have base access.
If you RSVP after 7/5/2024, you will need to fill in a "Local Area Credential Request" and take it to the West Point Visitor Control Center at 2107 New South Post Road, West Point, NY 10996, Tel: (845) 938-0390 or (845) 938-0392. You can download the form here (link under "Visitors" >>AIE Credential Request Form). The Visitor Control Center is open Monday-Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. We recommend, if you are going to be in town on Friday, to complete this step then.
Any military with a non-expired and valid DoD ID will have access to the base.
