Cold Spring, NY
Welcome to Cold Spring, New York: a picturesque village that’s as refreshing as the local spring for which it was named. Established along the Hudson River in 1846, Cold Spring quickly emerged as a place of extraordinary promise. While proximity to a major waterway drew traders, the ore-rich mountains did so with miners, and the forests and vibrant seasonality with artists seeking inspiration. The initial convergence of opportunity, hopes, values, and ideas forged Cold Spring as a rare fellowship of industry andnature, history and the hereafter—a mosaic of grit and grace.
During the Civil War, The West Point Foundry’s artillery production for the Union Army accelerated the growth, attracting entrepreneurs and farmers, families and oasis-hungry Manhattanites. But even as Cold Spring flourished, its original ethos endured.
Today, glassy waters still mingle with rugged hiking trails and breathtaking vistas. Towering hills still touch serpentine valleys. As was the case at its inception, the tapestried landscape catalyzes and epitomizes the spirit of Cold Spring. Here, modern museums and ornate architecture from bygone eras both belong. Here, home means weathered barns, a strawberry farm, an ivy-laced bed and breakfast, and even a cliffside castle. Here, artisanal boutiques, a creative supply store, a low-waste market, and the northeast’s best cheese shop all matter. Here, greasy diners can taste as fine as the fine French, Tuscan, and Argentinian dining. Here, in Cold Spring, leather-clad bikers rub shoulders with educators, horticulturists, imagineers, international magnates, and history enthusiasts.
Generations on, Cold Spring remains a bit of everything. And everyone.
As refreshing as ever…you’ll see.
