Schuylerville

Schuylerville is a village situated along the Hudson River in Saratoga County, combining residential areas with historical structures from different periods. The settlement spreads across rolling terrain with both modern homes and colonial-era buildings.

The village witnessed the surrender of British General John Burgoyne following the Battles of Saratoga in 1777, a turning point in the Revolutionary War. This victory strengthened American independence efforts and changed the course of the conflict.

The General Schuyler House and Old Saratoga Reformed Church display Dutch and colonial architecture from the Revolutionary era that shapes the village's character today. These buildings reflect how early settlers influenced the area's look and feel.

The village is best explored on foot with quiet streets and easy walking paths through the center. Access to the Hudson River provides opportunities for outdoor activities and scenic views.

The Marshall House stands as the only remaining building from the Battles of Saratoga period, offering a direct connection to the 1770s military events. Its preservation provides visitors with a tangible link to this pivotal moment in American history.
