Spend a weekend immersing yourself in the battle that changed the American Revolution from a colonial rebellion into a world war. Saratoga changed everything. France agreed to a formal alliance with America. Britain now had to fight France from the English channel to India. It also had to decide whether it was more important to recover the American colonies or protect its homeland and other possessions. None of this would have happened without the American victory at Saratoga
Participants will be exposed to multiple perspectives involving the battle including the British plans before and reaction afterward, the battlefield from land and from the water, and the effort to preserve the battlefield for future generations. Join with scholars, the National Park Service, and re-enactors to learn about the event.
