(Guide) Welcome to the Saratoga National Historical Park. I will be guiding you through the park with one of the Park Rangers.
The Tour Road is a one-way closed loop for 9 miles. Once you get on you must continue to the end. There will be 10 stops of places of interest along the way. Each stop is indicated by a numbered marker. This cell phone audio tour will take you through these 10 stops offering fascinating stories about the Battles of Saratoga. Simply enter the stop number into your dial pad to listen. At the conclusion of each stop, we recommend that you hang up, and call the tour line back when you've reached the next destination and are ready to continue. You may want to leave your car at these locations and walk the paths to the various wayside exhibits. Most of these contain audio with character voices explaining the significance of the area, along with maps and paintings depicting the actions that took place there at the Battles of Saratoga in 1777. Should time, fatigue, or any disability limit you from getting out at any of these stops, this tour should be able to point out important landmarks and describe the actions in each area well enough to make your tour meaningful. The Park encompasses approximately 4 square miles and includes British and American Headquarters, camps, and the scenes of fighting. The National Park Service has been managing the ground cover so that in most areas you will see woods in the forested places of October 1777, and clearings in those areas that were either cultivated fields or cut by the armies. During this tour you can control the audio by pressing 1 to rewind, 2 to pause and play, 3 to fast forward, and the pound sign (#) to skip a recording. You will also have the opportunity comment on your experience here today and we encourage you to do so by pressing star zero (*0) any time during the tour. Thank you and enjoy!
