Some of the interesting monuments that mark the battlefield are the unusual "Boot Monument", a tribute to the deeds of Benedict Arnold at the Battles of Saratoga, two monuments to Polish engineer Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a D.A.R. memorial to the American dead, a marker honoring the British General Simon Fraser who was killed in the battle and one to American Timothy Murphy, the man said to have shot him. Besides the main battlefield, two other park sites are located eight miles north of the battlefield. They are the restored country home of General Philip Schuyler in Schuylerville and the Saratoga Monument in the village of Victory. The present Schuyler House was built just after the battle by General Schuyler to replace the house burned by the British before their surrender. It is open weekly in the summer. |
