The Saratoga County Homestead, or Homestead Sanitarium, was a large tuberculosis sanatorium located in the hamlet of Barkersville, in Providence, New York. It is publicly recorded as The Homestead Sanitarium and located on County Highway 16. The Homestead was opened in 1914 and treated patients for tuberculosis until 1960. The original building was wood, but was replaced by the brick building that stands today in 1932. The institution reopened in 1961 as The Saratoga County Infirmary. Thrill seekers have often traveled to this building in the hopes of capturing some ghostly activity.
