Saratoga Travel Guide

This is not just the August place to be for Horse racing, but a year round place to be. Saratoga was a site in the Revolutionary War and is home to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in the SPA State Park, Yaddo, and Skidmore College. Beautiful in the winter and the summer, this is one of my most favorite cities.

Many natural Springs with mineral water

 Video Gambling at the Harness track.

Chess tables in Congress Park (near the Italian Gardens).

Small group meets Friday and Tueday nights at Uncommon Grounds coffee shop to play chess.  

Exits 13, 14 & 15 of the Adirondack Northway (I-87)

Many ducks make their home in Congress Park, even after DPW Tom McTygue had them driven out of town and their wings clipped so they couldn’t fly back!
