A little while ago, we went on a mini-holiday to Saratoga Springs, NY, for the Canada Day long weekend. I was very excited to do several things I’ve always wanted to do in Saratoga:
a) Visit some of the springs / drink out of them
b) See a burial ground (literally any, how did I miss doing this last time I was there?)
c) swim in the Victoria pool (this one was added a few weeks before the trip when I found out the pool existed. Totally worth the trip!)
Welcome to the Putnam Burying Ground, which we did not think to call ahead to and therefore couldn’t actually go inside!
