They should find some very interesting stuff. Most of the area around there is still woods and farmland and has not been developed. I would have loved to take a metal detector over that property when I visited...

That's Daniel Morgan in the white, and Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne trying to give his sword to Granny Gates.

The Saratoga National Historical Park 9 miles south of Saratoga, New York, includes the battlefield, a visitor center, the restored country house of American General Philip Schuyler, a monument, and Victory Woods where the British surrendered on October 17, 1777. Would like to get there sometime. How far is it from Eastern PA?

One of my ancestors was captured there in 1777. He was a British soldier. After his release, he never returned to England but stayed in America and started a family here.

Would like to get there sometime. How far is it from Eastern PA?See Saratoga National Historical Park for directions info and then use Google or Yahoo maps to calculate the trip.
But before you go, read Saratoga: Turning Point of America's Revolutionary War by Richard M. Ketchum if you haven't already done so.

It's pretty much on the NY eastern border.

Well, it’s about 165 miles straight north of NYC with interstate all the way; from eastern PA, either the NJ Turnpike up or I-81. Definitely worth a trip...esp. in the fall.

True enough...Saratoga was changed to Saratoga Springs a while back, I believe for commercial purposes.

Without Arnold on that day, we very well could have lost that battle. His bravery was legendary...

Saratoga and Saratoga Springs are two different towns.

>>Saratoga and Saratoga Springs are two different towns.
I think that first “Saratoga” Wiki article that bcsco linked to in post 12 is in error. The “Saratoga Springs” Wiki piece that I linked to seems to have gotten it right, however.
“Not to be confused with the county with the same name or the adjoining city of Saratoga Springs.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saratoga,_New_York
“Saratoga Springs, also known as simply Saratoga, is a city in Saratoga County, New York”
