The village of Cold Spring
traces its history back deep into the 18th century
as a harbor for passing river traffic between New
York and Albany. Important Revolutionary iron works
were located nearby and in the 19th century major
brick works continued the industrial traditions of
the area.
In the 20th century all
of this disappeared and Cold Spring became a principle
stop along the northbound trains out of New York City.
This quite naturally led to the area becoming a very
desirable residential community for commuters into
the city.
It also led Cold Spring
to become a very easily reachable day and weekend
destination out of New York City. Located in the village
are several excellent bed & breakfasts and country
inns and the main street is lined with antique shops,
auction galleries and store fronts selling unique
wares. From Irish imports to early American furniture,
you can find it in charming Cold Spring, just a short
train ride north of New York City.
Come up and spend a romantic
day or weekend in charming Cold Spring. The accommodations
are excellent, the food is sublime and the views are
magnificent. |
