Reviews
"Site of the Revolutionary battle of Orisjany where British soldiers and allied Native Americans ambushed American militia under Nicholas Herkimer in a gully as they were marching to Fort Stanwix (in modern-day Rome, NY) to lift the British siege. Much of the area is an open field with a very old, large monument to commemorate the battle which makes it difficult to picture what the battle was like. The most interesting part for me was the trail through the gully (a little bit of a slope down and then up on the east side of the park) where the ambush took place, where things are much easier to visualize. Geri g some background from signs, brochure, and the video of the battle will definitely help you understand the battle better."
"Given the history of this spot, the place is very peaceful. The memorial is noteworthy and battlefield is clean and nicely maintained."
"One of the important battles of the Revolution. It’s a good place to picnic and hang out under the trees. Well done."
"Small but remarkable stop if you are a history buff. Even if you aren't, maybe a nice stop to show your kids that people struggled and fought..and we now have greater opportunities as the outcome of their bravery so long ago. This is a good place to pay your respects, especially on a slightly warm, sunny day with a light breeze. This place can speak to you."
"It was a somber feeling to visit such a sacred place. But the military road/trail was a nice walk and there were informational signs along the way so that let me know where the troops entered the woods and where the ambush actually started"
