The revolutionary village which
centered about this green with
its stores of supplies for the
army was sacked and burned by
a force of two thousand British
April 26, 1777
Warned of the gathering militia
the raiders departed next morning
in haste but were attacked
and harassed by the rising
colonials and driven to the
shelter of their boats
on the sound

They kindled a fire that blazed at Saratoga
