Details

Event Type Historic Site Tour/History Description Five Porch Farm is located directly on the Hudson River in Northumberland, about halfway between Ft Edward and Schuylerville. It was the farm of a captain in the Colonial forces before the Battle of Saratoga and was occupied by Burgoyne’s forces who used the river-accessible, flat acres as a hospital and commissary. The farm has been restored over the centuries and provides a peaceful spot to appreciate history and enjoy beautiful natural surroundings.
