Saratoga National Historical Park is one of many important battlefield sites from the American Revolutionary War, but historically it may also be one of the most important. It was at Saratoga where American forces fought and defeated British troops who had landed on American shores. The success of the American forces against England swayed international opinion and led to other countries siding with the Americans; it also was a factor in Britain's having to face fighting other wars on multiple fronts and is considered by many historians to be a turning point in the Revolutionary War.

The park is a combination of several important landmarks in addition to the Saratoga battlefield; Victory Woods was the site of the British Army's last stand before surrendering and the Saratoga monument is a symbol of the American victory over British forces. Another important area of the park is the Philip Schuyler house; Schuyler was a general in the American Revolution and a businessman before and after the war; he was also a surveyor by trade and played an important role in the creation of the American canal system.
