If you want a bang for your buck, especially when it comes to American history, you can’t beat the offerings of the National Park Service found in the state of New York. There are more than 20 National Park System units there, ranging from the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in western New York to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site on Long Island.
Today we’re going to delve into some of New York’s Revolutionary War history with an audio trip to Saratoga National Historical Park. The Traveler’s Lynn Riddick caught up park ranger and military historian Eric Schnitzer, who explains what happened there nearly 250 years ago and why it’s significant in the course of American history.
