It became a French and Indian war zone in the epic collision of European nations seeking a "New World" position and influence. Struggles at Oriskany and Fort Stanwix set the stage for the monumental "turning point" battle at Saratoga that shifted the course of the Revolutionary War toward American victory. The legendary Erie Canal, a technological wonder of its era, was built here taking advantage of the convenient path nature carved through the eastern mountain range to construct a more modern transportation waterway.
This reinforced national ambitions, expansion of America's western frontier, and the westward spread of eager settlers, commerce, and the Industrial Revolution. Millions of people now wend their way through this picturesque landscape year-round. Due to Covid restrictions some historic sites may have alternate hours and availablility.
