About Saratoga National Historical Park

Saratoga National Historical Park was established in 1938 to preserve and protect land and resources associated with the Revolutionary War battles fought at Saratoga in 1777. The park includes four sites encompassing 3,400 acres: the Battlefield Unit in Stillwater, NY; the Schuyler House in Schuylerville, NY; and the Saratoga Monument and Victory Woods in Victory, NY. The American victory at Saratoga was a critical turning point in the Revolutionary War that boosted morale and secured foreign support, which would prove essential for winning the war. Saratoga offers green spaces, wildlife, and outdoor recreation along with historic structures and cultural landscapes. For more information about Saratoga, visit www.nps.gov/sara .
