===Historic sites=== [[File:Schuylerville, N.Y. LOC 75694846.jpg|thumb|[[Lithograph]] of Schuylerville from 1889 by [[L.R.

It was made famous by the publication of [[Frederika Charlotte Riedesel|Baroness Frederika Riedesel]]'s ''Letters and Journals relating to the War of the American Revolution and the Capture of the [[Hessian (soldiers)|German Troops]] at Saratoga.'' This house was built in 1770β1773. During the closing days of the Battles of Saratoga, Baroness Riedesel with her three infant daughters sheltered there, together with the wives of British army officers and wounded personnel. Her account of the travails of those around her, her keen insight into the personalities of the principal officers of both the British and American armies, and her devotion to her husband in peril have led some commentators to name her as the first woman [[war correspondent]]. The Marshall House was bombarded by the Americans, who assumed it to be an enemy headquarters. Within are conserved cannonballs and other reminders of the ordeal suffered by those who took refuge there. The stone cellar, made famous by the baroness, is largely unchanged. The Marshall House is the sole remaining witness building to the Battles of Saratoga. The owners welcome visitors by appointment.
