1st to give a British Army the Boot, the Battles of Saratoga in 1777 were America's Turning Point. Our storytelling will educate, engage & preserve its history.
A great commemotation and rededication in Schuylerville this weekend!
Schuylerville made history again this weekend. A new cannon was dedicated at Prospect Hill Cemetery in honor of Revolutionary War patriot Gen. Henry Knox—just steps from where Burgoyne surrendered in 1777. tinyurl.com/44hc7m4n #saratoga250 #Americasturningpoint #america250
Today in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was publicly read for the first time from the balcony of Boston’s Old State House. Abigail Adams recalled the celebration: "bells rang, the privateers fired...the cannon were discharged...and every face appeared joyful."
Big weekend in #Saratoga commemorating America's founding with community partners. Our first edition graphic novel is out, with great author event. Plus, local Home Made Theater 6 show production of classic musical "1776." Love how they're featuring our AR figures from history!

Inspired by a public reading of the Declaration, a crowd of soldiers and civilians tore down a statue of King George III in New York City #onthisday in 1776. Pieces of the statue were melted down into musket balls, like this one in our galleries. Visit: bit.ly/34CiSxy
