Bennington Battlefield Field Trip

Join us for a guided tour of the Bennington Battlefield site. Bennington Battlefield preserves the site of a Revolutionary War battle between a detachment from British General John Burgoyne’s invading army and New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont state militia commanded by General John Stark of New Hampshire and Colonel Seth Warner of Vermont. The battle was fought in two engagements on August 16, 1777 and resulted in a decisive victory for the Americans. As a result, General Burgoyne’s army suffered irreplaceable losses and failed to gather the supplies needed for a timely push on to Albany. General Burgoyne surrendered to the Americans on October 17, 1777, after the Battles of Saratoga.

We’ll meet at the Battlefield Site at 10 a.m. Expect to spend about 90 minutes onsite. We’ll have some lunch suggestions for those not familiar with Eastern Rensselaer County. If you have questions, please email [email protected]
