Details

Event Type Historic Site Tour/History Description Come help us commemorate the 241st anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga! This year's event theme will be "Civilians in the Camp." Our focus will be on the non-combatants, such as the camp followers (wives and whole families of soldiers) and the sutlers (army-approved merchants) in both American and British armies, as well as the "Albanians," British loyalist refugees from Albany, and on boatmen, pioneers, and carters (wagon and cart drivers) with the British army. There will of course also be soldiers in both camps: Colonel Thomas Marshall's Continental Regiment for the American side, and the 62nd Regiment of Foot for the British side.
