Cold Spring is a village located in Putnam County in the Town of Philipstown and in the Hudson Highlands, New York. The population was 2000 only. Cold spring is next to village of Nelsonville. The central area of the village is on the a Historic Places as the Cold Spring Historic District because its many well-preserved 19th-century buildings, constructed to accommodate workers at the nearby West Point Foundry. The town is the birthplace of General Gouverneur K. Warren, who was an important figure in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Because Cold Spring serves as a weekend getaway for residents of New York City, I took my family and visited the place several time as you seen in my photo.

Transportation

Commuter service to New York City is available by Metro North Railroad to Cold Spring train station. The train journey is about an hour and ten minutes to Grand Central Terminal.

Until 1818, when the West Point Foundry was established by Gouverneur Kemble, Cold Spring was a small settlement nestled on the shores of the Hudson River near the river’s narrowest point. Cold Spring served as an industrial base for the next 150 years. A battery factory operated from 1952 to 1979, polluting nearby Constitution Marsh, before the marsh was cleaned (at great expense) in the 1990s.
