Incorporated in 1807, Ballston Spa contains a treasure trove of
inspiring human interest stories and spectacular images just waiting
to be shared with contemporary readers and those of future
generations. What better time than the 200th anniversary of the
village's birth to publish an heirloom quality book that celebrates
and commemorates many of the individuals and institutions that
contributed to the community's enrichment and growth over the past two
centuries?
This 8.5" X 11" 374-page literary labor of love
by seasoned journalist Ann Hauprich
and photographer Michael L. Noonan is printed on keepsake
quality paper and protected by a full-color dust jacket, making it a precious souvenir of the
Bicentennial year.
