Autumn Sunday Strolls “Wealth & Wellness: Franklin Square” & “Mom & Pops of the East Side”

Join Carrie Woerner, NYS Assemblywoman and former SSPF Executive Director, on Sunday, October 11 at 10:30AM for “Wealth & Wellness: Franklin Square.” The neighborhood is characterized by beautiful Greek Revival houses, which became occupied by wealthy part-time and full-time residents of the city as the population began to grow. As you walk through Saratoga’s oldest residential neighborhood, Carrie will share architectural insights and point out one of the city’s oldest remaining residences. 

On Sunday, October 18, Carol Godette leads her wildly popular walking tour, “Mom & Pops of the East Side.” Stroll through a concentrated area of the East Side that once teemed with neighborhood shops and markets and learn about the history of these stores and their owners. More than milk and bread, these shops fostered entrepreneurship and a sense of community. Through her tireless research, Carol’s will bring not only the stores to life, but also the people behind their counters.

The Foundation is grateful for the generous support of the 2026 Autumn Sunday Stroll series sponsor, Fridholm Painting. All Sunday morning tours begin at 10:30AM, last approximately 90 minutes, and require walking and standing on varied terrain. Tours are limited to thirty participants and tickets must be purchased in advance. The cost per tour is $15 for SSPF members and $20 for non-members.
