Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation Kicks Off 2025 Summer Sunday Stroll Season

The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation is excited to welcome you back for another season of Summer Sunday Strolls, starting June 15! 

The guided walking tours will take place every Sunday from 10:30AM-12:00PM, through August 31, offering a great way to explore the city’s unique history and diverse architecture. Each week highlights a different historic neighborhood in Saratoga—the grand mansions of North Broadway, the mail order “kit houses” on the East Side, the vibrant West Side neighborhoods, the bathhouses in the Saratoga Spa State Park, and more!

“It’s a fun, engaging way to see Saratoga Springs up close—and a Sunday tradition you will not want to miss,” said Sydney Hedge, Preservation & Programs coordinator at the Foundation.

Join the Foundation for the first of 12 exciting tours of historic Saratoga Springs, which kicks off with “Lincoln Park” on Sunday, June 15 at 10:30AM. Take a stroll through Lincoln Park in Saratoga Spa State Park, a National Historic Landmark. Discover the park’s history from its early carbonic acid plants to the creation of the State Reservation in 1909 and the construction of the Lincoln and Washington Bathhouses in the 1920s. This tour meets at the Washington Bathhouse (National Museum of Dance).

The “Lincoln Park” tour is in partnership with the Friends of Saratoga Spa State Park, a non-profit organization that supports and enhances the park’s historic, natural, and recreational resources. 

Friends members can purchase tickets for this tour at the SSPF member price. To learn more about the Friends group, please visit their website, friendsofsaratogaspastatepark.org
