Explore the American Defenses

In December 1777, American soldiers cut countless trees on this hill and feverishly built log and earth fortifications to block any British move farther south. White posts with blue tops now show how far the American earthworks stretched, nearly two miles. This hill was the high ground, and not far away stands the Neilson farmhouse, the only surviving witness to the 1777 Battles of Saratoga.
