Springs
Before racing began in Saratoga, the area’s natural mineral springs had been attracting wealth for many decades. The springs occur on a line where the north-south Saratoga Fault allows water trapped in subsurface shale layers to reach the surface.
 
Believed to have healing powers, springs can be found all over town. Most of the springs are covered by small pavilions and marked by plaques; others, however, are less conspicuous, sometimes just a spigot in a rock. The springs are famous for their varied and distinct tastes: some are clear freshwater, others are saltier, and some taste strongly of a certain mineral such as sodium bicarbonate or sodium chloride. There is a sulfur odor, but mineral analysis of the water consistently shows almost no presence of dissolved sulfur. The sulfur is in the form of the gas hydrogen sulfide, which degasses from the water very quickly. Visitors are welcome to bottle the spring water for personal consumption.

Grant Chronicles: Grant’s First Visit to “The Queen of American Spas”
Yesterday and today mark the anniversary of Ulysses S. Grant’s first visit to Saratoga Springs, NY on July 27-28th, 1865. Fresh from the victory at Appomattox Court House and with the Civil War dying down, Grant was still very busy with military matters in Washington. In fact he had to decline an invitation to attend 4th of July celebrations in Saratoga earlier in the month, only making a brief appearance at a flag ceremony in Albany that day before rushing back to Washington to attend to business.
