Schuylerville is the next town over from Greenwich, about 20 minutes from Cossayuna. The Hudson River narrows to only a hundred yards across here, forming the border between Washington and Saratoga Counties. This historic town was central to the Revolutionary War, as it is where the British Army surrendered after the loss at the Battle of Saratoga. It is the location of several historical sites, including the home of General Schuyler (of Hamilton fame) and the Old Saratoga Reformed Church. There are also several great restaurants, bars, local food stores, and bakeries in town.
