Complete information about visiting Saratoga National Historical Park is now on National Park Planner.
Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater, New York, preserves an American Revolution battlefield where the Americans and British fought two battles in the late summer and early fall of 1777. At the time, the closest town was called Saratoga (Schuylerville today). While the Americans lost the first battle on September 17, 1777, they defeated the British at the Second Battle of Saratoga on October 7th. This ultimately led to the first time in history that an entire British army surrendered to another country, and it is the event that swayed the French to join the war on the side of the Americans. They officially entered the war in February 1778.
