The town of Milton; New York; lies near the center of Saratoga County. It is crisscrossed by a series of rivers; which have played an important role in the town�s development�most notably; the Kayaderosseras. Milton�s only village; Ballston Spa; with the attraction of its rare mineral springs; was once among the country�s most popular tourist destinations. One of the largest and most elegant hotels in the world; the Sans Souci; vied with a host of others for the patronage of thousands of travelers who made the pilgrimage each summer to partake in the �healing waters.� When the tourist trade faded; it was replaced by a massive expansion of industry that was situated along the town�s waterways. Among the most significant of these concerns were the mills of the �Paper Bag King� George West; Isaiah Blood�s ax and scythe works; and the mammoth tannery of Samuel Haight. Today; its proximity to the state capital and other cities makes the town an increasingly popular residential area; complemented by a quaint and bustling business district in Ballston Spa.
