Its timing will enhance the America’s Turning Point “Victory at Saratoga Season” events celebrating the areas Revolutionary heritage. Including the 247th anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga that occurred on September 19th and October 7th, resulting in a 10-day siege of the British forces and the historic, first-ever surrender by a British Army on October 17, 1777.
The American Revolution Experience invites visitors to consider the choice faced by members of the revolutionary generation as tensions mounted in the 1770s: Would these ordinary citizens risk their lives and livelihoods in pursuit of liberty? Or would they remain loyal subjects of the British crown, coming into conflict with neighbors and family? The exhibit surfaces diverse viewpoints and experiences, touching on the journeys — both literal and figurative — of Patriots and Loyalists, men and women, Black and Native populations and even international allies. Rather than focusing only on generals and famous statesmen, it introduces audiences to drummer boys, military mapmakers and other ordinary people who were impacted by global events.
Created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National D.A.R., the exhibit is also made possible by generous matching funds from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program battlefield interpretation grants.
