If I'm not mistaken Saratoga had (and may still have) baths where people could go and lounge in these pools of water, they claimed was very healthy. I remember doing this many years ago. Not sure of the health aspects but it was a very pleasurable experience.

All the buildings as well as the scenery up here are gorgeous!

Many of the fountains up here would dispense that "sulfur" water that smelled like rotten eggs. If you could get past the smell, they claimed it had great healing powers. Many people including myself and my parents used to go up here with empty jugs and fill them up with sulfur water to bring home and drink. Plus it was free.

Boy, do I need to visit this place! I had 15 eye surgeries last year and who knows how many I'm in for this year.

Oh and depending on what time of year you went would determine the inhabitants and feel of the area. Saratoga is very "touristy", especially during racing season (Saratoga Harness Track) or when SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) is open. Then the area is really hopping and there are people everywhere! Personally, I like it in the off seasons, it's very peaceful and beautiful.

Wow, this is just around the corner from where I live, well kind of. It's not too far anyway. I had no idea this stuff was up there or I would have poked around myself. Thanks for a new gallery, can't wait to get into it.

But I would like an embalming table. . .I think it would be cool. My house is full of unique stuff that I've collected over the years, stuff you wouldn't see in an ordinary home.

It's just my warped sense of humor, that's all.

I hope the person that lopped off these heads has his head lopped off when judgement day comes.

I'm Catholic but the last of the line so by the time it got to me my mother was worn out and didn't bother. So I missed all that (thank God!)

All the meals those stoves cooked and now they just sit cold. . .
