Join Darley Newman and Lauren Roberts in Saratoga, New York, as they explore some of the region's most important American Revolutionary War sites. At the Saratoga Surrender Site, part of Saratoga National Historical Park, Darley learns about the moment General John Burgoyne surrendered his sword to General Horatio Gates—a pivotal event that helped change the course of world history.
Often called the turning point of the American Revolution, the American victory at Saratoga in 1777 helped convince France to recognize the United States and become a key ally in the fight for independence.
Along the way, Darley and Lauren highlight several must-visit historic sites in the Saratoga area, including the Saratoga Surrender Site, the Saratoga battlefield, the Schuyler House, and the Saratoga Monument, which was built 100 years after the Battles of Saratoga to commemorate the British surrender and the events that unfolded here.
From Revolutionary War history to hidden stories that shaped a nation, Saratoga offers travelers a fascinating journey through America's past.
