Ken Burns reminds us: there were no “ordinary people” in the Revolution. Roger Lamb’s journal proves it. tinyurl.com/3jxhchk5 #saratoga250 #AmericasTurningPoint #america250

The 250th isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about stewardship. Patrick Niles shows how heritage tourism can strengthen the communities it celebrates.

From sun-soaked fields to crisp fall evenings, Fort Hardy Park reminded me: heritage tourism is about people as much as place. Join us in celebrating the Semiquincentennial. [https://tinyurl.com/2ku68298] #saratoga250 #Americasturningpoint #america250

September in old Saratoga is victory season. Like the Battles of Saratoga, the start of school is a turning point. Proud of my two sunrises—one off to high school, the other in college. Both began their day with eggs. Watch out world. 🌅

In 1777, fog drifted over Burgoyne’s march. Today, it drifted over my walk at Hudson Crossing Park. History lingers in Old Saratoga—especially in Victory Season. tinyurl.com/2acybwvw
