GETTING AROUND |
|
| To
travel at the end of the nineteenth century in Saratoga County, one
walked, rode a horse-drawn carriage, or rode a trolley. During the
winter months, snow and ice, complicated travel. When traveling on
foot, snowshoes were used to walk through snow-covered areas without
falling into deep snow. Those fortunate enough to own a horse for
transportation simply switched out their carriages for sleighs which
were able to glide over snow and ice.

|
Trolleys
were key transportation vehicles for the people of Saratoga County
because the Schenectady County Railroad ran to Schenectady and
Albany where many worked.
|
| Though many trolleys were fixed with snowplows, service was often interrupted during major storms. |
