Saratoga National Historical Park Acquires the Saratoga Surrender Site
The Saratoga Surrender Site in Schuylerville commemorates the location where British General John Burgoyne surrendered his army to American General Horatio Gates on October 17, 1777. In 2006, the Open Space Institute purchased the property from private ownership and helped develop a public observation plaza at the site.
As noted by National Parks Traveler, Saratoga National Historical Park has recently acquired this important piece of land from the Open Space Institute and will continue to preserve it for future generations to enjoy.
