SWORD SURRENDER SITE PROJECT
at SARATOGA NATIONAL PARK
at SARATOGA NATIONAL PARK
The National Project is to raise
funds for the Sword Surrender Site Project at Saratoga National Park. This
project will include a bas-relief sculpture, memorial, walk-ways, and
interpretive signage. The basis of this project is the famous painting, The
Surrender of General Burgoyne, by John Trumbull. Major Henry Dearborn would
later reflect that Saratoga was “one of the Greatest battles that Ever was
fought in America.” Saratoga was the turning point of the American Revolution.
Saratoga was the turning point which resulted in our alliances with France and
Spain. Saratoga was the turning point, not only for the colonists, but also for
the world. Without this victory, there is no success in our Revolution, there
is no French or Spanish Alliance, and there is no United States of America.
