Saratoga Springs Visitor’s Center & Heritage Area

Between 1865 and 1900 Saratoga Springs was the summer resort to which all the “right” people made journeys. With its large hotels and a race track, this was a place of great entertaining and sport but perhaps it was best known for its healing mineral-water baths. The old casino closed in 1907 and with it a change took place in life in Saratoga Springs. Now this is a place to come to enjoy its shops, antique stores, and the numerous bed and breakfasts that have replaced of many of the large hotels. There are 900 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places here and you can obtain information on locations and self-guided walking tours at the Saratoga Springs Visitor’s Center & Heritage Area (518-587-3241).
