In May of 2008, my boss asked me to help set up a staff fun day including a visit to Sharon Springs, New York. She had driven through it before, but never stopped to look around.
I gathered geocaching information and called ahead to ask if they would open the museum for us for an hour or so, since it was before the seasons opening day.
We left early in the morning and headed to Sharon Springs. It was Mary, Geneen, myself and Kim and her husband Dave.
When we arrived, we did some geocaching. There is a multi-cache named OLD HOTELS AND SPRINGS. I had found it on a previous trip, and the rest of the group found it without my help. That is a picture of Geneen and Dave when they found the cache. The picture below it is Geneen and Mary at a building behind the cache.
Then it was time to go to the museum. (look for the picture of it up above) It is a great little place. The first floor has memorabilia from the old hotels and springs. Upstairs there are three or four rooms with antique items. We looked at the old schoolhouse next door to the museum and at the row of cabins that are being renovated. We walked over to the old abandoned Adler Hotel and Spa and looked around. We sure wished we could go inside. We had lunch at THE BLACK CAT (I think most of us had the Thanksgiving sandwich) and went into a couple of shops on Main Street. Then we went to a huge farm type market that was selling a lot of spring flowers, and we had ice cream. Then we took one last look at Sharon Springs as we drove through it up towards Route 20.
We stopped at the TeePee in Cherry Valley, to look around. Mary found a geocache there while the others shopped for souveniers. Geneen tried the chili.
It was a great day!
