The rescheduled trip to the Saratoga Battlefield occurred on Saturday, September 19, the day of the yearly reenactment of the battle that was the turning point of the American Revolution.
The seniors were given a guided tour through the park by certified National Park guide, James Hughto (far right in photo). He played the part of a member of the irregular militia. At one point he was captured by the English lobsterbacks but escaped after mortally wounding two of his guards. In the picture a member of the Connecticut Dragoons poses with Ella Amidon, Anna Geraldi, Jane Fitzgerald, Walter Walters, Mary Walsh and Harold and Eva Jones.
