Summer Ghost Tours at the Canfield Casino
The Saratoga Springs History Museum is inviting visitors to step out of the summer sun and into the shadows with the return of its Summer Ghost Tours of the Canfield Casino, running Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from July 1 through August 31.
Presented inside the Canfield Casino in Congress Park, the 90-minute guided tours explore the eerie legends, mysterious encounters, and haunted history connected to one of Saratoga Springs’ most iconic landmarks. Tours will start at 11:00 a.m.
Once the glittering heart of Saratoga’s Gilded Age social scene, the Canfield Casino welcomed gamblers, socialites, politicians, performers, and visitors from around the world. Today, the building is known not only for its rich history and stunning architecture, but also for the ghostly stories and unexplained happenings that have become part of its legacy.
“This tour is a fun and memorable way for visitors to experience the Canfield Casino from a completely different perspective,” said a representative of the Saratoga Springs History Museum. “It combines real Saratoga history with the ghostly legends and mysterious stories that continue to capture people’s imaginations.”
Led by museum storytellers, the Summer Ghost Tours offer a blend of history, local lore, and spooky storytelling designed for history lovers, ghost story fans, curious visitors, families, and brave summer adventurers. Guests will explore the historic rooms and halls of the Canfield Casino while hearing tales of its glamorous past, mysterious reputation, and stories that refuse to rest.
