Cherry Valley

Cherry Valley, located in central New York, is a significant historical site where a raid by British-allied Iroquois warriors, Loyalist rangers, and British soldiers took place on November 11, 1778. Visitors can explore the Cherry Valley Historic District, which includes the site of the village and the fort garrisoned by Continental Army soldiers. The Cherry Valley Museum, housed in the White-Phelon-Sutliff House, offers exhibits on the raid and its impact, including artifacts from the Cherry Valley Massacre.

The raid's aftermath led to the Sullivan Expedition in 1779, where General George Washington ordered the destruction of more than 40 Iroquois villages. This campaign is commemorated by historical markers throughout upstate New York, detailing the path of Sullivan's troops and the locations of the Iroquois villages they razed. Exploring these sites provides a comprehensive understanding of the raid's significance and the broader context of the Revolutionary War in this region.
