    History:
    The Saratoga County Homestead opened on December 5, 1914, to treat patients with tuberculosis. In the beginning, the homestead could accommodate and treat twenty-four patients. As the cases of tuberculosis in New York State increased, the homestead would undergo a massive expansion in 1936. Its wooden structure being replaced by brick, embellished with decorative moldings, marble columns, and large windows and solariums to circulate the fresh mountain air that was thought essential to the treatment process. The last patients left in August of 1960 and it became the county infirmary in January of 1961. It would treat geriatric patients until 1973 when it closed for good.
    Nearly 50 years after its closing the homestead is now under new ownership. Small renovations have started so that tours are allowed on the property, with the end goal of building veterans retreat on the 28.61 acres of land. The new owner allows photography tours and ghost tours of the property, please contact the Haunted Nights Events Facebook page for more information on these tours. The homestead will also be featured in Destination Fear on Travel Channel, the episode will air on October 24th, 2020.

    I'm here because of "Destination Fear" and the recent episode. It's one of the wildest episodes I have ever seen. And now, well I'm fascinated with this building. And wanted to know more about the history.

    Captain Mike's Extreme Hydro Flight Travel Channel Destination Fear TV Experience was right before the Destination Fear Cast went to check out this place...
    We were the exciting opening segment of TRAVEL CHANNEL Season 2 Episode 8 titled "Saratoga County Homestead".
    We had some fresh banners made up for the show which we staged on our Bimini tops of our 2 pontoon boats so the drones always had our logo in frame.
    In the first quick segment, our back drop included our main boat and waverunners in the water and on the trailer, as well as our kayaks, paddleboards, water skis and wakeboards.
    The cast arrived around 5pm and we flew the 4 cast members from 6pm to 8pm.
    The Travel Channel production crew surprisingly went with every shot I had suggested including a reordering of the overall shoot due to time constraints and getting the best light for our production.
    As my boat Captains set up our 4 person towable tube for the final shoot, I recommended a camera person set up on the main boat and act as the spotter and take direct film of the towable tubing.
    I suggested Captain Marta act as my throttle person and for me [Captain Mike] to fly while they were being towed by our main boat with our second camera and audio boat trailed behind off camera.
    The cast did towable tubing and I flew until the Sun was setting around 8:30 pm and the cast took a short private cruise back to the marina while the camera man was able to do some more filming of the group.

    The centre building You refer to as a chapel was actually a World War II spotting complex for planes. The site was the highest point in the entire area at the time.
    Not a church, more like a break room. 20 yrs ago the crank air raid siren was still just out the door on the roof.

    • @Ms.Norths.Musings
      @Ms.Norths.Musings Před rokem

      What do you have to say about the basement and the morgue? I was there in the 90's and I never hear a single thing about the basement which had a wing of tiny rooms with shackles in them where they clearly locked people in to torture them. Nor do you hear about the other curious rooms in the basement. They must have covered it up to hide what really went on there but it must have been horrific. Back in the day the feeling and energy there was obscene. It felt straight up evil. Please write back if you can share the secrets of the place. I think it has been covered up but anyone who went there in the late 80's- 90's should know about what was really there.
