Revolutionary WarPlaying an important role in our nation’s history dating back to early exploration, colonial times and the struggle for independence, nearly one-third of all battles during the American Revolution were fought in New York State.

War of 1812The wounds of the Revolution had barely healed when a second war for independence raged across New York. The War of 1812 saw the United States emerge a world power, produced the Star Spangled Banner, and made Troy’s “Uncle Sam” Wilson a national symbol.

Civil RightsForefront of the Underground Railroad Move-ment, New York’s location and politics made it a destination for many Africans fleeing slavery. Historic sites provide a better understanding and remind us how fragile freedom is.

ImmigrationA point of entry for millions of immigrants, many historic sites showcase the valuable

Native American History Long before European settlers, Indian nations built thriving civilizations in New York. That culture remains vital today, throughout the state, and in artifacts from pottery to tools and pipes in museums across the state.

Colonial HistoryFounded as a Dutch colony and later a British colony, New York distinguished itself as the most culturally diverse of the nation’s 13 colonies and a colonial leader in politics, commerce, religious tolerance and culture.
