Join the Albany Institute on a special bus trip to Saratoga National Historical Park.
Begin your visit with getting acquainted at the Visitor's Center, then hop back on the bus and take a drive through Saratoga Battlefield, making several stops along the way. Arrive at the Philip Schuyler House, the country home of General Philip Schuyler both before and after the Battle of Saratoga. The British burned the original house and its outbuildings during their retreat and the present house was erected in 1777 shortly after Burgoyne's surrender. The focus of our time in the Philip Schuyler House will be the stories of the enslaved people who lived and worked on the Saratoga plantation.
We'll finish the afternoon with lunch at the Olde Bryan Inn, a Saratoga tavern with a history dating back to the Revolutionary War.
- $85 per person, includes transportation, tours, and lunch
