"No one can tell what associations and incidents will involve the island in the future. Time, the elements, and maybe even the goblins of the island will take their toll of some of the turrets and towers, and perhaps eventually the castle itself, but the little island will always have it's place in history and in legend and will be forever a jewel in it's Hudson Highland setting."

Bannerman Castle Trust, Inc. is hopefully its future!
