Designated a New York State historic site in 1927, Oriskany Battlefield is said to be the site of the bloodiest battle in the nation’s War for Independence.

Considered to be a significant turning point in the war, the battlefield was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963.

Today, visitors to the battlefield can walk the site, read a series of interpretive signs, and visit a historic encampment during special events. Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site is located just 10 miles southeast of Rome.
