And, make sure you do not block or impede anyone's driveway, or the street itself, otherwise your vehicle may be towed.
Schuylerville is located on the Hudson River about 200 miles north of New York City.
TOP / SCHUYLERVILLE / TICONDEROGA
Schuylerville is located on the Hudson River about 200 miles north of New York City, and is an area rich in colonial history. The village was first settled in 1691 by the Dutch and called Fort Saratoga, with the surrounding area simply known as Saratoga.
The area came to prominence in the fall of 1777, by playing host to our first major victory over the British during the Revolutionary War. This victory resulted in the loss or capture of over 9,000 of their men, and was credited with being a turning point in the revolution. The battle also featured the cunning strategies of Major General Benedict Arnold, without whom the Americans surely would have lost.
The village was later incorporated as Schuylerville, to honor the American force's first area commander: General Philip Schuyler. Also, many area roads were named for prominent battle participants, both American and British. And, a 155' stone tall tower was erected in 1855 to commemorate the battle.

TOP / SCHUYLERVILLE / TICONDEROGA
The name "Ticonderoga" is one of the most significant and familiar in early American History. The Iroquois word, meaning "the land between the waters," describes the historic portage between Lake Champlain and Lake George used by Native Americans for more then 10,000 years.
Its location proved to be strategic to European settlers as well, as it was the site of many battles, including ones fought during the French and Indian War, and the American Revolution.
The Ticonderoga area also played a major role in James Fenimore Cooper's novel: Last of the Mohicans.
Over fifty plaques throughout the Town of Ticonderoga mark historic sites and remember legendary heroes, including St. Issac Joques, British Lord Howe, Robert Rogers and his Rangers, French General Montcalm, American General Henry Knox and Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont.
