May 2 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The Battle of Normanskill and the Battle of the Flockey: Keeping the Loyalists of Old Albany County off balance during Burgoyne’s invasion.
It was the summer of 1777 and the British were coming from three directions, hungry to subdue Albany. The Loyalists of Old Albany County were rising up to clear the way for the Redcoats. Learn how Patriots reacted to these threats, brought civil war to the county, and accomplished a first for the United States Army.
