Siege Living History Weekend at Fort Hardy Park kicked off a year-long celebration of the Battle of Saratoga’s role in the American Revolution on Saturday (Oct. 10).
The event, which continued through Sunday at the Schuylerville park, featured reenactors, music, demonstrations of what life was like in 1777, and historical information.
The Saratoga 250 celebration will continue this year and includes candlelight tours of Phillip Schuyler’s home in Schuylerville and a surrender day ceremony in Victory Mills. It will culminate next year with a two-day reenactment of the Battle of Saratoga on the fields where the battle took place, a Turning Point parade in Schuylerville and a concert at SPAC.
