A visit to the Saratoga Battle Monument NY

The Saratoga Battle Monument is in the tiny village of Victory NY, and overlooks the site of the Battles of Saratoga on September 19 and October 7, 1777 which are generally considered the turning point of the American Revolutionary War. It's about 100 miles south from our house in Vermont.
