Ballston Spa is a historic Village just under 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs and about half an hour from Albany. The area provides a quiet respite from the busier destinations in the area like downtown Saratoga and Lake George.
Ballston Spa Antique Center, Stone Soup Antique Gallery, Acorn Appraisals & Consulting, and more - if you love antiquing you'll have no shortage of choices in Ballston Spa. Pop into Daisy Dry Goods for "a wonderful selection of items with history and character," as one Google reviewer said. They're known to have colorful Fiestaware, unique teapots, vintage jewelry, and more high quality antiques.
There's more than antiques, though - visit Double M Western Store for everything western, New 2 You Fine Consignment Boutique for designer apparel at affordable prices, and Boho Chic Boutique for one-of-a-kind items from over 50 New York State artisans. (saratoga.com/day-trips)
