Title
Map of the Village of Saratoga Springs and Vicinity
Description
"In point of merit," writes Dr. George E. Walton in his survey of mineral springs, "the Saratoga waters equal, if they do not surpass, any of the kind in the world." By 1874 this village in the Upper Hudson River Valley had become a fashionable destination for (usually wealthy) individuals seeking its therapeutic mineral waters. Map of the village shows more than twenty named springs, along with many hotels, performance halls, parks--and the rail lines transporting its many visitors.
