Military
The First Battle of Saratoga was fought on Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the British won that fight. The British built the log-and-earth walls of the massive Light Infantry Redoubt there, marked by white posts topped with red. On October 7, during the Second Battle of Saratoga, British forces fell back to this position, where the Light Infantry Redoubt was strong enough to repel the Americans' assault.
