SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Sunday, July 10 at 10:30 a.m., Gloria May will lead a stroll of Greenridge Cemetery and tell the stories of the earliest residents of Saratoga, visiting the oldest grave from the 1700s that predates the cemetery and the marker of the first person to be buried in Greenridge Cemetery when it opened.

Learn about the Civil War monument with those who proudly served in service to our country and be introduced to the prominent families of Saratoga – the Walworths, the Marvins and the Batchellers. This tour meets at The Sackett Gate entrance on Lincoln Avenue. Additional tours this summer highlight the mineral springs of downtown, mail-order houses on the east side, mansions of North Broadway, architecture of the Saratoga Spa State Park, and more.

Sunday morning tours, presented by the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, last approximately 90 minutes and require walking and standing on varied terrain. Tours will be limited to thirty and tickets must be purchased in advance.  The cost per tour is $15 for SSPF members and $20 for non-members.  Members with stroll passes need to contact the Foundation’s office to book their tour.
