Schuyler House (General Philip Schuyler Estate)

Historic House

Philip Schuyler's country estate at Schuylerville, rebuilt after Burgoyne's troops burned the original during their advance. Schuyler reconstructed the house in thirty days after the British surrender, demonstrating both his resources and his determination. Burgoyne himself was hosted here as a prisoner of war following the surrender — a remarkable display of civility toward the general whose troops had burned the property. Managed by the National Park Service as part of Saratoga NHP.
