Be sure to check the hosting organization’s website for schedule changes and cancellations.

Saratoga National Historical Park
When Burgoyne’s army surrendered at Saratoga, the agreement was that they could return to Europe. But Congress intervened, claiming that Burgoyne broke the deal himself by not surrendering all the stuff he was supposed to. Or did he? This program examines how a tiny uniform detail broke our nation's first treaty.
Park Ranger Eric Schnitzer has called Saratoga National Historical Park home for more than two decades. Eric’s immense knowledge of military history and 18th century material culture, which have made him one of the foremost experts on the Saratoga Campaign, come together perfectly in this talk.
