Sharon Springs is a great place to visit! It was once a vacation
spot for the wealthy, and later on a therapeutic destination for
holocaust survivors. Then it became a ghost town and now it is
experiencing a revival.

You can walk right down to Chalybeate Temple from the sidewalk on Main Street. Then take a drive down Main Street and see old hotels, abandoned bathhouses and another natural springs that you can access by walking down to it. If you are brave, taste the water! The twon also has a small museum and an old schoolhouse.
The Black Cat is a great place to have lunch!
