The DAR wreath‑laying at Stop 2 always gets me. Standing there in Stillwater, looking out over the same hills the soldiers saw, you feel the weight of service — past and present. It’s one of the most meaningful moments in Saratoga County each September. tinyurl.com/ybejjf4a #Saratoga250

Freeman’s Farm still holds the echoes of the first battle of Saratoga. Walk the ground where the fight turned the tide of the Revolution in the Hudson River Valley. Read the Substack article: tinyurl.com/ybejjf4a #Saratoga250 #SaratogaCounty #America250

The battle had not begun. The guns were silent. But on Sept. 15, 1777, Burgoyne was moving south and Gates was waiting behind fortifications designed around the terrain. tinyurl.com/3u3xhzw5 #Saratoga250

September 15, 1777: Burgoyne's army was moving south toward Albany. Gates held Bemus Heights. Kościuszko had turned the terrain into a defense. Four days later came the First Battle of Saratoga. tinyurl.com/3u3xhzw5 #Saratoga250

On Sept. 11, 1777, the American army waited at Stillwater. Men dug defenses. Scouts searched for Burgoyne. Militia arrived. The next battle was 8 days away. The surrender was more than a month away. They didn't know the ending. tinyurl.com/2rb8ddzs #Saratoga250

249 years since Burgoyne's surrender changed the course of a revolution. Victory Season at Saratoga honors it every fall — living history, ceremony, and country roads worth the drive. tinyurl.com/2s4z73jt #America250 #Saratoga250
