Could you introduce yourself? EM: Yes, I am Eric Morser, I am an associate professor of history at Skidmore College. JS: Um, could you tell us a little about your background? EM: Yeah, I am originally from Wisconsin, uh, I lived there for the first thirty three years of my life, I went to the University of Wisconsin for my undergraduate degree, and liked it enough in Madison Wisconsin that I stayed there for my masters and my PHD, so I was there for fifteen years. Um, after that, I had a number of jobs around the country, I taught at a university in Pennsylvania, I taught for two years at the University of New Mexico and three years at the University of Florida, before coming up to Skidmore, and I have been at Skidmore now for about nine years. JS: So you came to Saratoga for Skidmore? EM: Yes, yeah there was a job that was open, and it sounded like it was a good place, and I had known some people who had taught here, and, uh, that is really what drew me here. JS: Um, so what is one big memory, what is your favorite memory of Saratoga Springs? EM: My favorite memory of Saratoga Springs is probably related to this little person here, uh, he was born a few months after we moved here, and uh, I remember very clearly, I was teaching a class- a night class on campus, I got a call from his mom saying "Can you come home, I need to go to the hospital," and then he was born at 6:06 the next day on November 5, 2009, so that is probably one of the clearest memories that I have. JS: And, um, what about a memory from Skidmore? EM: Uh, I think one of the best memories I've had from Skidmore is, right at- the year when I came, there was something called the Coroda(?) lecture, and that's, it happens every two years, it's hosted by the Poli-sci department, and Government, and American Studies, and each time each department gets it they bring special speaker in. So, I think it was my first year, or my second? I think it was my first year, where it was my job to bring the speaker in, and I was not quite sure what to make of it, I had somebody in mind who turned out to be great, she came to campus, she talked about early American history, she had just written a book about Thomas Jefferson, and the women in his life, and it was that moment where I really felt like I was part of the Skidmore community. Where people, I was reaching out to people, and they were coming to this event, and it was kind of a big campus event, and that was a really good memory for me, �that’s always been a good memory thinking about how it is that I started to create an origin, to establish roots here. JS: Any other events like that that stand out to you? EM: Yeah, I mean one that’s more recent than that, is that I was able to work on a prison exhibit that came to campus, it was a national prison exhibit, I had put together a public history course kind of like the one that you’re teaching, it was built around a semester long project, I know you guys are doing the Howard Zinn documentary, and that project was related to the history of Mount MacGregor, a prison that closed in 2014, and we were invited to join this international, well really national but kind of international organization, in which each school was donating a local story relating to mass incarceration. So I was able to work on this project with those students, and then finally last semester that exhibit that had been touring the country came to Skidmore, and it was kind of a nice series of memories of events that I’d worked on, with Jordana Dym and some other people on campus, drawing people from in the community, draeing a lot of students, and it was a series of really satisfying events that highlighted all of the things that are possible when you’re at a place like Skidmore. So I think more recently that’s something that really stands out. JS: These- so community events, I take it, you’re very into them. EM: Yes, yes definitely. JS: Are those the only two, or… EM: Those are the ones that really stand out, I – part of what I do along with teaching in the history department, I’m the faculty director of civic engagement, so that has given me a chance to work with other faculty members and students on similar kinds of community events so I spend a lot of time thinking about bringing speakers to campus, and helping students reach out beyond the campus in ways that are really satisfying, one thing that we did a couple of years ago was we brought a speaker in named Julie Winoker(?), and she, uh, had put together a film about the challenge of trying to get people from different political points of view having conversations with one another, and that was, we brought her in in 2016, when the presidential election was really heating up, and it was a nice chance to bring members of the community together for, uh, for an event that I thought was really important given the context of the times. So whenever there’s a chance to do that kind of community outreach I really really enjoy it. JS: What are some challenges that you face with that aspect of the job? EM: It is always, uh with the civic engagement stuff, it is always um… well we don’t have a lot of resources for it, so I’m lucky enough to work with a subcommittee, on campus, where I work with people like Michelle Hubbs, who is a staff member who works on community outreach, and I work with other faculty members. Had the committee not existed, I could not do the job at all. And part of it is just about having financial support, a part of it is logistical support, planning these events takes a lot of time, and takes a lot of energy, and it can be really satisfying, but it can be really stressful as well, trying to figure out if the room you have is the right size, trying to reach out to people who are not members of the �campus, trying to bring a lot of people in, there are always a lot of moving parts, so that’s part of the challenge of it, and when it works it’s great, but it takes a lot of focused energy to get it moving. JS: So what’s one thing about Skidmore or Saratoga Springs that you would change? EM: Oooh, that I would change about Skidmore or Saratoga Springs… um… I guess for Skidmore, if I could change anything, and this is a little more personal I guess, I really like this idea of civic engagement, I wish we had a center for civic engagement, I wish we had some kind of a dedicated space, I wish we had staff, I wish we had a million dollar a year budget, um, I think something like that would be fantastic. And one thing that I also wish is that um, I wish that there was a little more sense of coordination on campus because there’s so much going on, and a lot of times one hand doesn’t always know what the other hand is doing in terms of planning events, or even putting classes together that I wish there was some kind of way to coordinate things a little more so that we always, so that we have a better sense of all of the activities that are going on, rather than having so much going on that people feel overwhelmed, and I think that students sometimes feel overwhelmed by that as well. So I think if I could change anything personally I’d love to have a center for civic engagement, otherwise if there was a way to coordinate these events and um, to really involve different kinds of departments who might be interested in these events and to bring them in in a more intentional way, I think that’d be great. JS: Reverse of that, what’s one thing that you hope never changes? EM: I hope, what never changes, is that, I hope I always have good, devoted students, and one thing I like about Skidmore students is that they are really aware of the world around them. I like the fact that we have so many students going abroad, I like the fact that there are a lot of students who really believe that they can change the world, and if that attitude disappeared it would be a real loss, so I think that’s one thing that I really like, I really like the students. You guys are really engaged, and you’re just, you’re a fun group to work with, and that’s the biggest thing I would hate to see disappear. JS: So how many different classes would you say you’ve taught at Skidmore? EM: Um, I would say ten or twelve classes, I think something like that? Um, I’ve got in my rotation now I’ve got six or seven, something like that, and I’ve got different versions, I think I’ve taught a dozen different classes, ten or twelve for sure. And I mean that’s one thing that’s nice too that I really like about Skidmore, is that we’ve got a lot of freedom to design the kinds of classes that we really like, um, at some places I knew people who taught the same class over and over and over again, and there was not a lot of freedom or leeway to really engage in that kind of creative pedagogy, where you would have a chance to say, I really wanna teach a class on this, like I taught my first year experience course, when that exhibit was here, I taugh a first year experience course on mass incarceration, and I was able to take my students over to the exhibit and integrate them into the events, and that is something that would not necessarily be common at a bigger university, so one great thing about Skidmore is that we have that kind of freedom to teach a variety of different kinds of classes, and we’ve got a lot of, there’s a lot of energy in the history department, where people are having conversations about classes that they want to teach, or team teaching, or coming in and talking in somebody else’s class, we do that all the time, and there’s a really nice sense of cooperative education going on here. And that’s, that’s been really exciting. �JS: So is there any particular class or collaboration with another teacher that stands out? EM: Uh, one that I did this past semester is, my colleague Erika Bastress-Dukehart, who teaches – you may have had her before – that she teaches a course on crime and punishment ijn Europe, and I was doing my course on mass incarceration in the United States, and I said to her it’d be great if you could come in and talk about Fukoh(?) and talk about the European origins of American criminal justice, and she came in and did that, and, uh, it was great for the students to meet her, and see, her, she’s really dynamic, and she said now I – it’d be great if you could come into my class too, so I went into one of her classes on the Reformation and talked about the impact of the Reformation on American history, and that was one moment where the two of us could really come together, and it really wasn’t just about having conversations, where we discover that we have similar interests, it was about us taking those similar interests and viewing particular events from different points of view and coming into classes and sharing those different points of view. It’s moments like that that are really great, and we’ve talked about doing more of that kind of work here, and that’s one that I really look back and say “that worked, that was a good thing.” JS: Um, of all the historical sites in and around Saratoga, which one resonates with you most of all? EM: I like – I love the battlefield, that’s probably an easy answer for me. I really, I’ll give you two to that, I love the battlefield because I like to be able to talk about the Battle of Saratoga in class and tell students we’re 20 minutes away from where the world changed. Uh, they do a really nice job leading tours, and organizing it, but I really really like having that battlefield close by because it reminds students how close history can actually be. One other place I like is Congress Park, and I like that just because of the beauty of the park, and I’ve got fond memories of taking him (his son) there and going on the merry-go-round, even though you cried the first time because you thought you’d never be able to come back ever again, once we did that, but in terms of teaching I like to point to Congress Park because not only is that the place where John Morrissey established one of his casinos, but it’s where Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect, did some of his work, and he’s the one who designed Central Park. So it’s a nice opportunity to both be in this beautiful place and say “look, this is where all of this cool history happened, it’s really close by, it defines the community that we all live in, and you can go and visit it, and see it.” So those are two places that really stand out for me in terms of places that are close by, historical places. JS: Do you think any sites around here are understated, or not as prominent? EM: I am not sure, I think sometimes what happens is that people don’t always remember that they’re surrounded by history, and one of the activities that I have students do in my public history class is just take a day and walk around the downtown and look around at it, and look at the architecture, and look at the dates on the buildings, and a place like Broadway I think has a really interesting history that people don’t always think about because they don’t go down there thinking about the history, they think about the shopping, or going to the bookstore or going out to eat, and if we stop and kind of just sit and look around and say “that is, I had not thought about it in historical terms,” you can see how that type of history in everyday life is just more important and more prominent than people often recognize. One thing I like to do too is have students try and follow the railroad tracks, if you go down in front of, they run past �the movie theater, and they run past to the grocery store downtown, that they’ve been laid out so that you can walk the railroad tracks, and when you do something like that you get a sense of how the city has changed. So in terms of finding places that are often overlooked, I like to take a look at the everyday, and say “let’s try and locate this in a historical context.” And if you do that, then you can see how it is that the everyday life that you lead is connected to these broader stories that continue to echo in American history and in a place like Saratoga Springs. JS: Do you think that Broadway and places like that are intentionally designed or presented in a way that makes people think about history? EM: I think it’s getting better, I think that there are efforts on the part of historic preservation in town, and other local historians to say that we need to remember that this history is present, and I don’t think that people always see it, but I think that there is an effort on the part of a lot of local historians to highlight this kind of history as it exists, I just think that people are not programmed to notice it. But there is, I think that there is a real effort in town to try and do this, and it doesn’t make Saratoga Springs unusual, I think you see that in a lot of local communities, it is really hard to break people out of the contemporary mindset and say “this is the past around us,” we’ve got to grasp that, to understand how that past that seems long past is still alive and still shapes the world that we inhabit, I think local historians often have to swim upstream to do that. They do a good job, in Saratoga Springs I think they do a pretty good job but they’re fighting against a tendency of people to think very contemporarily in the way that they understand the world. JS: Do you think that Skidmore students are better about recognizing the subtleties of history found out in the world? EM: I think that if they take the time to think about it they can be very good, and I’ve seen this in my own public history class where students have gone out and they’ve really been given the freedom and the encouragement to go out and really think about these more subtle stories and I think that they have the capacity to do that kind of work if they’re given the chance, and I think that some people in environmental studies do prjects like this where they get students out into the community thinking about environmental issues in a way that we as public historians really want our students to do the same kind of thing. I think if Skidmore – one thing I like about Skidmore students is that you guys do almost everything we ask you to do, and if given a chance you will do great things. So it’s about having the opportunity and getting out and getting off the campus, and getting into town and getting to the battlefield and seeing all of these things. And my experience is that when that happens, when I took students up to see Mount MacGregor, it was eye opening. It was transformative for them to actually see the prison that they were talking about in the class. So I have a lot of faith in Skidmore students. JS: You mentioned environmental studies, do you think that… what other fields of study do you think are beneficial to be studied alongside history? EM: Um, I think, I love it when I have students who take anthropology, um because we do very similar kinds of things, we look back, we put bits and pieces together trying to reconstruct lost worlds, so I love when I have students who are archaeologists, who work with people like Heather Hurst, who are able to �bring that point of view into the classes that I teach. I love having students who are able to contextualize cultural issues, in classes, so I love having students who are English majors, or dance majors, or theater majors, and I think theater in particular is a really cool way to think about storytelling which is what we do as historians. So I think anthropologists, political scientists, these other kinds of humanists, bringing them into the history classes can be fantastic, and I’m kind of running on and it’s going to be like “I love having everybody in class!” But I also, I mean the other thing I would say is that it can be really refreshing having physical and natural scientists taking history classes too, because they will bring to the game different kinds of questions, and they are often really… I can see the lightbulb coming on for example when I have environmental studies majors who emphasize the science part of it, taking an environmental history class. So I like having students from all over the place who bring different points of view, and who think in radically different ways but can inform what we talk about in history by what they bring to the class from these different, these different locations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

So first, how did you get involved in the Saratoga and Skidmore communities? Lary Opitz: As far as the Saratoga community goes, it's kind of interesting. I came to Saratoga when I was 26, married and from New York, and I came here ostensibly to spend one year back in 1974. That was the plan because after doing a lot of freelancing in New York in the theater here was this opportunity to get out of New York for a year, make a decent salary where they pay me every two weeks and then come back to New York and go back to work. Ummm the other motivation was a friend was offered a job here or an acquaintance was offered a job here in the theater department and he interviewed, came back to New York and told me you gotta go up there, forget about the job, you gotta see this town, it's beautiful, beautiful Victorian architecture, tree-lined wide boulevards, and they'll take good care of you, they'll wine and dine you for the weekend. So I said "what the hell?". So I came up here. Pouring rain, everything was rushed, they wound up offering me a job. And I didn't make a decision, because Barbara, [his wife], wasn't with me, and I wanted to talk to my friend, to see if either of us or both of us really wanted to come up here. Umm, so. Needless to say, we did. I don't know that for many many years I felt much of a connection to the community of Saratoga. I thought of myself, and in some ways still do think of myself as a New Yorker, meaning New York City. Umm still had a lot of family in New York, went down regularly, a lot of my work was in New York, I would travel back and forth all the time. This was where I worked, but, and here's the tension, I was part of the Skidmore community, and I'll talk about that specifically in a moment, but there was very little connection to the Saratoga community. And through the years, I spent a lotta time traveling, when I was a lighting designer, so, even though I had two kids up here, born in '76 and '79, I wasn't that connected with their lives in school, as activities went, because I was so often away, and Barbara was in charge of that. So I didn't feel any strong connection to the community. That didn't change very much for many many years, I wasn't a member of any organization, I think that so what became important was that six or seven years after we had already lived here, we did join what was then, what still is called the Jewish community center, which was uh then an Orthodox congregation. We did it because it was time for the kids to start religious studies, and we had two choices: we had a lot of friends who were members of the reform congregation, we didn't know anybody who was orthodox, we went in and we wound up joining there, and became very involved very quickly, and that was our community. If it wasn't family, it was the Jewish Community Center. So all community activities were focused there really. Ummm I became active in terms of serving on the board, eventually becoming �president, built a new building, and all of those relate to the community, but not the community at large. One thing that changed that was probably some time in the 80's, joining the local chapter of NAACP, but not getting too involved, and again, not a whole lot of things I'd call community involvement. We lived in a very, we still live in a very neat neighborhood, on the east side, and within a two, three block radius, there were a lot of families with kids our age, kids the age of our kids. So that was sort of a tiny little community. In 2000, I was a founding member of Saratoga Shakespeare Company. That tied me into the community more than anything else had to date, and continued working with Saratoga Shakespeare, and people in town knew me from that, from my performances every summer, and then eventually, about six years ago, Barbara and I took over the company, and we have absolutely necessarily, by force, had to become more intimate with the Greater Saratoga community, because we needed to raise money. And again, we see 6,000 people every summer, many of whom are Saratogians, and so we've become very connected with things that we had never been connected with before. But that's, that's been, you know the past 43, 44 years in terms of the community of Saratoga. Skidmore is very different, but even there it's kind of weird. I came up here as a staff member, not a faculty member, though I started teaching immediately, as a lecturer I guess, and I spent a few years here, and all that mattered was the theater, I wasn't involved in campus events very much. What's interesting is that at that time, I was only six years, seven years older than most of my students, the drinking age was 18, there was no stigma at all attached with hanging out with students at parties and drinking, things were very different then, and there was a lot of partying in the theater department. But it was all about the theater and the work in the theater, and theater students and theater faculty. I had no connection with the rest of the campus, other than the occasional friendship that would pop up either because of our kids or just encounters. In, somewhere in 19-, in the late 70's, I was going to leave here for another job, Boston University, that I'd been offered. Decided to stay partially because they offered me a real academic title, and I became an assistant professor with a nice salary raise, and decided to stay, and that meant I had to be more of a community member. Ummm. It took me a long time in the theater department, in meetings, in the theater department, when I was 26, to really participate and voice my opinions. Then I had the challenge of being a faculty member at large at faculty meetings, and speaking up, speaking my opinions in front of the entire faculty. But that was my responsibility, if I wanted to stay here, the goal would be to get tenure. At that time, tenure was not attached to a promotion, now it is. When you're automatically an associate professor, back then, you could get tenure and then you had to go for promotion. So if I wanted to keep my job, and if I wanted to grow in the job, I'd have to be more connected to the community, the college community, which meant serving on college committees, which is doing service for the faculty, but in the process of doing that, you're meeting new faculty members, and developing new relationships. Governance started �becoming more important to me, and standing up and speaking my mind in faculty meetings became very important to me, and I was developing as something of a leader and something of an impassioned speaker, because I am an actor, meanwhile I was taking leadership in the Jewish Community Center, taking leadership in the department in my first term as chair, so I started taking more leadership in the faculty at large, meeting more people, developing more relationships, developing relationships with administrators, and that led to two of my most important, my most important service as a faculty member, which was serving on CAPT, which was the committee on appointments, promotions, and tenure, which has always been considered the senior activity, and I've been on that for two full terms and I was chair of it, and that put me on a position where I had to take a tremendous amount of leadership, because we're not just involved in those decisions, the administration has always dealt with CAPT for other all college issues. When I took over the chair in my last term, which lasted ten years, I had to put all the focus back into the theater department and continue to function as a full faculty member participating in meetings, but most of my service, in recent years, has been in the theater department. That pretty much covers it. JK: So, going back to getting involved in the Skidmore community, over the years that you've been involved in it since you moved up here, how have you seen the community develop and change and what kind of trends have you seen go through it? LO: Yeah, uh, (laughs) some things have changed for the better, and some for the worse, and when we talk about change on campus, we're talking about three different things in my mind: one is changes in the student body, changes in the faculty, and changes in the administration. Umm... I think our students have gotten stronger academically over the years, and that's partially because we've become more selective, partially because I think Skidmore has improved over the years in its offerings and its commitment to education. So, I think there is strength there in students because 40 years ago, 30 years ago, I found our students far more independent and uhh- independent meaning largely independent of the will of their parents, and there was no such phenomenon as helicopter parents, today I'm dealing with students who seem incapable or unwilling to make a decision without calling home almost every day, if not every day. Those two things, there's a tension there, remarkable change. And I've seen it in the theater too, that um, there was a period, 20 years ago, 15 years ago where rarely would I pick up the New York Times and not see something that one of our students was doing. Now in the past 5 years, that's fallen off a bit, our students are going out and forming their own theater companies, more than they have in the last 10 years. Again, that has to do in part with independence, and taking control of your own life. In the faculty, the, there was a greater sense of independence and strength in the faculty, 40 years ago, 30 years ago than �there is now. There was always a tension between the will of the faculty and the goals of the administration. Now we all were pulling for Skidmore to be the best possible place, but that meant different things in different times to different, to the faculty and the administration. And I felt that there was much more independent thinking on the part of faculty years ago, now it seems that young faculty straight out of PhD programs are concerned primarily with getting tenure, obviously always an issue, but it seems to be the foremost though upon getting here, "what do I have to do to get tenure in six years, seven years", and there's a tendency, in part because of that, to be less confrontational with the administration, to stand up for things, principles when there's disagreement with the administration. So, I think the faculty in general have gotten more sheepish, more willing to deal with the administration as, as, as, as parents, and taking less responsibility for leadership. And in the part of administration over the years, what I've seen, and this is not unusual, it's every college, is what's typically called administrative bloat, where the size of the faculty has only in recent years grown in considerable ways, but nothing compared with the explosion in the size of the administration. Things that were done by two or three people, 30 years ago, now are done by 8 people. Everybody's got an assistant. The work has not... in some areas the work has grown, computers, library, external forces like the demands for assessment have required us to expand administration in various ways, but in general, it just, and as a result of that in part is ore turnover than there ever used to be, 30 years ago 40 years ago, if I needed to borrow a truck from the campus, I'd call up a friend who ran the motor pool, or whatever we called it then, the physical plant, I'd say "Jerry, I need a truck for the weekend, any problems?" "No, pick it up whenever you want!". Now, first of all, now the policy has ended. A few years ago, I would have had to go through a ridiculous amount of rigmarole, now some of that's external, insurance, stuff like that, but, you used to pick up a phone, call somebody and get the person on the phone, not an answering machine, a person who you knew by their first name, and you helped one another. Now, the phone won't be answered, you'll get a machine more often than not, you're calling a person to deal with a problem and you don't know who that person is because they've replaced the last two people since you knew the person, so it's become a less personable place to be, and I have regrets for that, it used to be much more, it used to be much smaller and more of a family, and I miss that. That seems to be at odds with that I was saying about my connection to the community, to the college community, but I was differentiating between you know my job as a professor as opposed to my life in the community and you know, you just knew everybody, and yeah we talked about secretaries then, not administrative assistants, but you knew most of them, and they spent many years here, their families grew up here, they had relatives in the area, they retired here, and those days are long gone, and this is part of society, we've become more mobile, so we move around a lot more, we change jobs a lot more than people used to. But the result of that is, there's a breakdown in community. �JK: And on that note, do you think the general identity throughout Skidmore and its community has shifted over the years or changed in any way since when you first got here? LO: Yeah, again, both good and bad, I think we've become more socially conscious, as has higher education in general, and that's a good thing, but I feel less connected with students, and maybe that's partially because of age, I feel less connected than I used to. As far as the Saratoga community goes, it's grown, but not outrageously. What's changed more than anything else in the demographics is the influx of ummm people who've- this always was something of a bedroom community for Albany, so you had a lot of people whose lives were in Albany but wanted to live further away. About 30 years ago, these multimillion dollar housing developments started popping up around, we started getting people who spent half their week in New York City and half the week up here, so 30 years ago, I'd go out to a restaurant, and we eat out a lot, and I'd know everybody, inconceivable not to see people, know the waiters well, know the owners well, well there's turn over in business too, and, but what's astounding is I go to restaurants now and it's not that often I know people there, who are dining there, that, that affects me, it's changed things, even people on the street, don't see people on the street as often, people that I know as often when I'm walking downtown. And then the most recent phenomenon in town is all of the condos that have gone up, multimillion dollar condos, you know, a twobedroom condo for 1.5 million in Saratoga Springs, just who are these people? Um. So, the community has changed primarily I think because of that, uh thankfully downtown has maintained its identity, and that's a terribly important part of downtown. Summers in Saratoga have always been bizarre, because of the track, because of SPAC, for the past 18 years Saratoga Shakespeare has had its effect in town, the balletamens who come up here, the Touts from New York who come to vacation, who spend their lives at Aquaduct and Belmont and come up here for a week or two in the summer, the owners, unlike you know other tracks, the owners come up here for the season, we have the track hands, who are largely Hispanic, who have their lives in the community, we have the Hassidic Jews who come up here in the summer still on war reparations from Germany, its bizarre! � https://www.ssmp.mdocs.skidmore.edu/files/original/49e05830d484d6edb33e694c02ba61a5.MP3 fb2a9230e4a675d971cfc37c7d723cbf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field.

Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change.. 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ Centennial Anniversary of the City of Saratoga Springs �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819

out  plans  to  preserve  and  revive  use  of  the  town’s  mineral   springs,  in  a  new,  modern  resort  in  what  is  now  the  Sara-­‐ toga  Spa  State  Park.    The  City  Charter  reconfirmed

 Congress  Park.   Over  its  history,  Saratoga  Springs  has  produced  many   maps  that  tell  the  community’s  story.    Two  generations  of   Motts,  father  Jesse  S.  and  son  Samuel  J.,  served  as  village   and  city  engineers  (1894  –  1942),  mapping  infrastructure,   plans  for  the  future  and  property  maps.    The  plans  and   maps  of  the  Lester  Brothers  real  estate  firm  (1860s-­‐1930s)   plot  development.  Charles  F.  Dowd  (whose  daughter   married  into  the  Lester  family)  was  an  owner  and  professor   at  the  Temple  Grove  Seminary;  he  is  perhaps  best  known   for  proposing  standardized  time  zones,  creating  maps  from   the  1860s.    More  recently,  civic  organizations  like  the  Lions     Club  and  Chamber  of  Commerce  produce  city  maps.   A  Word  About  the  Space  of   Saratoga  Springs   Saratoga  Springs  began  as  a  settlement  in  the  town  of   Saratoga  in  land  originally  part  of  the  Kayaderosseras   Patent.  In  1819,  an  act  of  the  New  York  State  Legislature   officially  divided  the  town  of  Saratoga,  adding  the  town  of   Saratoga  Springs  within  it.  The  new  township  received   about  half  the  land  of  the  original  municipality,  located  on   the  west  side  of  the  Kayaderosseras  and  Fish  Creeks.   Within  Saratoga  Springs  there  are  two  distinct  “districts”   created  by  an  1826  act  that  incorporated  the  village.     Saratoga  Springs’  territory  today  remains  largely  the  same   as  that  described  in  the  1819  act.  The  1915  city   incorporation  act  confirmed  that  the  city  retained  the   town’s  “present  boundaries,”  making  government  and   administration  “coextensive  with  the  territory  above   described”—in  other  words,  the  same.   �     Maps  and  Civic  Life   Maps  and  Urban  Development   Streets,  buildings,  and  land  divisions  may  be  the  most  obvious   features  on  a  map,  but  each  of  these  physical  elements   reflects  how  a  community  creates  and  uses  its  public  and   private  spaces.  Maps  help  us  understand  what  matters  to  the   people  who  live,  work,  and  play  in  a  town  or  city.  The  maps   displayed  in  the  exhibit  and  online  give  a  taste  of  some  of  the   most  enduring  features  of  civic  life  –  including  schools  and   voting  districts,  parades,  and  parks.   A  walk  through  Saratoga  Springs  today  reveals  glamorous   buildings  of  distinct  styles  that  range  from  simple  red  brick   facades  to  decadent  Victorian  mansions  and  even  southern   antebellum  porches  that  make  you  question  how  a  hint  of   southern  hospitality  made  it  so  far  north.  Fine  dining  is   everywhere  you  turn,  and  a  horse  will  always  be  displayed  to   remind  you  of  the  track.  Behind  the  city’s  current  lively   atmosphere  of  health,  history,  and  horses  lies  a  complex  history   of  urban  development.  Changes  in  planning  maps  dating  from   the  city’s  earliest  years  to  today  reveal  how  maps  since  the   1800s  have  shaped  the  city  into  what  it  is  today.   Maps,  Tourism  and  Travel   Since  the  1830s,  when  trains  began  to  deliver  summer  visitors,   Saratoga  Springs’  growth  and  development  moved  in  lock   step  with  ground  transportation.  Maps  reveal  how  Broadway   retains  its  role  as  the  city’s  spine,  despite  efforts  by  developers   to  entice  visitors  away.  They  also  track  today’s  familiar  routes   –  9,  29  and  50—from  a  network  of  trails,  roads  and  rail  tracks.   Dreamers  from  real  estate  developers  and  civic-­‐minded   residents  to  city  planners  and  college  professors  map   transportation  and  tourism  to  imagine  the  city  of  the  future.     Tourist,  urban  development,  and  transportation  maps   provide  complementary  sides  of  a  story  about  the  city’s   plans  for  growth  and  adaptation  to  changing  times.   � https://www.ssmp.mdocs.skidmore.edu/files/original/4e0c85b461951085db053479a2e124c4.pdf

Text Mapping a City 1915: Incorporating a City Early 20th century Saratoga Springs faced a decline in its popularity as a resort and conference destination. Seeking to reinvent its image and assert its place as an upstate New York hub, town leaders started several projects, working with state officials, to conserve the mineral springs and bring the visitors back. A defining moment for the town’s revitalization came with its incorporation as a city in 1915, which capped a period of municipal conservation efforts and a new era of mapping and zoning. 100 years since the city charter was signed, this exhibit tells the city’s origins and growth through its maps. Map Stories of Saratoga Springs Maps chart the tale of Saratoga Springs' settlement, establishment as a separate district within the town of Saratoga in 1819, erection as an independent village in 1826, and receipt of a city charter from New York State in 1915. Maps also reveal what mattered to visitors and residents: parks and parking, routes and roads, attractions and business, land and buildings, planning and development, what worked and what should change. Saratoga Springs History Museum 1 E Congress St Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 www.saratogahistory.org Exhibit Website: http:://ssmp.skidmore.edu/ 250 Years of Saratoga Springs History April - December 2015 Sponsored by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust & JIMAPCO �2 1 Timeline The Past Through Maps The citizens of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., might think of making a map in order to influence policy (Figure 1) or of consulting one to plan a trip or to showcase in homes, schools and libraries (Figure 2). But maps also reveal a lot about the communities that made them--their ideas and values, their way of seeing the world, their hopes and dreams. In other words, maps tell stories. Accessible by Native American trails as early as the 17th century, the springs of Saratoga and the settlement that grew around them began to find their way onto many kinds of maps--official surveys, city plans, tourist guides, and real estate brochures with late-18th c. European settlement. Small-scale and large scale, businesslike or humorous, black & white or color, these historical maps provide details or data about the city's past. Maps takes us through Saratoga Springs' history from its origins as a crossroads between Canada, New York and New England and a draw for the healing power of its mineral waters to its present day as a lively spot for meetings, nightlife, and recreation. 1777 Battle of Saratoga 1789 Gideon Putnam arrived in Saratoga Springs 1791 Saratoga County established 1803 Putnam’s Boarding House built 1819 Saratoga Springs becomes a district, town of Saratoga 1824 United States Hotel opens 1826 Saratoga Springs Village Charter 1833 First steam locomotive to Saratoga Springs 1863 Racetrack opens 1893 Convention Hall opens 1911 Racetrack closes for two seasons 1913 Village Park – later Congress Park – opens 1915 City Charter adopted by NY State Legislature 1918 Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce forms 1923 First zoning map 1951 Saratoga Springs casinos closed 1963 Northway (I-87) opens 1966 Saratoga Performing Arts Center opens 1984 City Center opens 2004 Saratoga Gaming & Raceway opens 2015 Centennial of City Charter � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
