Nestled in the foothills of the scenic Adirondack Mountains, historic Saratoga Springs is one of the crown jewels of the American Northeast. The city’s early fame arose from its numerous natural springs, each one producing its own distinctive healthful waters. Founding father Gideon Putnam himself built two renowned hotels to accommodate visitors seeking their legendary benefits and healing powers.
Saratoga Springs has been widely acclaimed as the home of health, history and horses, and for good reason. The famous natural springs and spas have been contributing to our well-being literally for centuries. The city is surrounded by sites simply breathing history. And the extraordinary thoroughbred track is one of the premier sports venues in the United States. Add in all the other attributes of both the immediate area and the region as a whole and it’s clear Saratoga Springs richly deserves its rapidly-growing reputation as one of the finest small cities in America.

Saratoga Springs: Horses & Downtown
A look at both race tracks located in Saratoga Springs, New York, plus a drive-by tour of the downtown business district.
Saratoga Race Course is the oldest actively running race track in the United States, running since 1863. Once dubbed the August Place To Be, Saratoga Race Course offers thoroughbred racing for 40 days between mid-July and Labor Day. It is well known for many stakes, including the Mid-Summer Derby, otherwise known as the Travers Stakes. It also is home to the Whitney Handicap for older horses and the Hopeful Stakes for juveniles.
Saratoga Casino and Raceway, formerly known as Saratoga Raceway, is home to standardbred racing from March to December. Opened in 1941, the standardbred track has been dubbed the most beautiful half-mile track in America. In 2004, Saratoga Raceway entered a new era when it became the first track in New York State to offer video slot machines.
Downtown Saratoga Springs is filled with local, regional and national shops and restaurants. The downtown district is right in the center of the city, in close proximity to the race tracks, Skidmore College on the northern end of town, and Saratoga Spa State Park on the southern end.
There will be a separate video detailing the offerings of Downtown Saratoga Springs to be posted at a later date/time.

Saratoga National Historical Park
The Saratoga National Historical Park preserves the site of the Battles of Saratoga, the first significant American military victory of the American Revolutionary War. Here in 1777, American forces met, defeated, and forced a major British army to surrender, an event which led France to recognize the independence of the United States, and enter the war as a decisive military ally of the struggling Americans. First authorized as a New York state historic preserve in 1927 on the sesquicentennial of the battles, the battlefield was made part of the National Park System in 1938 when Saratoga National Historical Park was authorized by the United States Congress.

The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid-19th century, and used by African-American slaves to escape into free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. The term is also applied to the abolitionists, both black and white, free and enslaved, who aided the fugitives. Various other routes led to Mexico or overseas. An earlier escape route running south toward Florida, then a Spanish possession (except 1763–83), existed from the late 17th century until Florida became a United States territory in 1821 (ending the safe haven for escaped slaves was the main reason Florida changed nationality). However, the network now generally known as the Underground Railroad was formed in the late 1700s, ran north to the free states and Canada, and reached its height between 1850 and 1860. One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the Railroad. British North America (present-day Canada), where slavery was prohibited, was a popular destination, as its long border gave many points of access. Most former slaves settled in Ontario. More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period, although U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000. Numerous fugitives' stories are documented in the 1872 book The Underground Railroad Records by William Still, an abolitionist who then headed the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee. Although the fugitives sometimes traveled on boat or train, they usually traveled on foot or by wagon in groups of one to three slaves. Some groups were considerably larger. Abolitionist Charles Turner Torrey and his colleagues rented horses and wagons and often transported as many as 15 or 20 slaves at a time. Routes were often purposely indirect to confuse pursuers. Most escapes were by individuals or small groups; occasionally, there were mass escapes, such as with the Pearl incident. The journey was often considered particularly difficult and dangerous for women or children. Children were sometimes hard to keep quiet or were unable to keep up with a group. In addition, enslaved women were rarely allowed to leave the plantation, making it harder for them to escape in the same ways that men could. Although escaping was harder for women, some women were successful. One of the most famous and successful conductors (people who secretly traveled into slave states to rescue those seeking freedom) was Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave woman. Due to the risk of discovery, information about routes and safe havens was passed along by word of mouth. Southern newspapers of the day were often filled with pages of notices soliciting information about escaped slaves and offering sizable rewards for their capture and return. Federal marshals and professional bounty hunters known as slave catchers pursued fugitives as far as the Canada–US border. Fugitives were not the only black people at risk from slavecatchers. With demand for slaves high in the Deep South as cotton was developed, strong, healthy blacks in their prime working and reproductive years were seen and treated as highly valuable commodities. Both former slaves and free blacks were sometimes kidnapped and sold into slavery, as was Solomon Northup of Saratoga Springs, New York. Certificates of freedom, signed, notarized statements attesting to the free status of individual blacks also known as free papers, could easily be destroyed or stolen, so provided little protection to bearers. Some buildings, such as the Crenshaw House in far southeastern Illinois, are known sites where free blacks were sold into slavery, known as the Reverse Underground Railroad. Under the terms of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, when suspected fugitives were seized and brought to a special magistrate known as a commissioner, they had no right to a jury trial and could not testify in their own behalf. Technically, they were guilty of no crime. The marshal or private slave-catcher needed only to swear an oath to acquire a writ of replevin for the return of property. Congress was dominated by southern Congressmen, as apportionment was based on three-fifths of the number of slaves being counted in population totals. They passed the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 because of frustration at having fugitive slaves helped by the public and even official institutions outside the South. In some parts of the North, slave-catchers needed police protection to exercise their federal authority.
