History Now

When news of the British invasion reached the farmers who tilled these fields, some went north to join the Crown Forces. Such a loyalist was John Freeman.

On a hot summer afternoon in 1777, one of Freeman's neighbors who stayed to fight for the Patriot cause may have paused thoughtfully as he passed his old friend's abandoned fields and home.

Travel back in time as you walk this ground where history was made. Press the "History Now" button and listen to a presentation especially prepared to help you relive the exciting events which took place in what is now Saratoga National Historic Park.
