  History of the Civil War

The Parrott Gun
"When the Civil War began, production at the West Point foundry was concentrated on making guns, projectiles, and gun-carriages. The foundry's best-known product was the Parrott gun, justly famous for its range and accuracy. From 1978 to 1979, under the authority of the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966 research was constructed on the history and significance of this important early industrial complex."

"The West Point Foundry, one of America's famous early ironworks, was built on a flat sandy area close to the Hudson River. It included a stone blast furnace to make iron from local ore and large water-powered lathes capable of machining large canons. The company, which included a branch in New York City, made locomotives, ships' engines and boilers, equipment for mills, and other large machinery parts. The products from Cold Spring were shipped on the river to New York and other destinations." Parrott Gun | Putnam  photos and more . . .

About the Village of Cold Spring

    The word is On December 1, 2011, while being interviewed on Talk of The Nation, Don McLean said about the song American Pie and where it was written; "It was written in Cold Spring, New York and in Philadelphia, and it was performed first at Temple University when I was just getting started with Laura Nyro."

The charming village of Cold Spring can officially claim it inspired the song "American Pie". This beautiful village is situated on the eastern banks of the Hudson River in the Southwest corner of Putnam County, New York in the Hudson Valley.

Vacation in Cold Spring
If you've just arrived in Cold Spring, get a bite to eat followed by antiquing and boutique shopping. Have a fabulous day perusing the antique shops, quaint boutiques, art and craft stores, and galleries in Cold Spring Village. Walk down Cold Spring's main street and take note of the interesting 19th century architecture mixed with newer buildings. Take notice of the wonderful absence of chain stores and be transported to days-gone-by.

On the shores of the Hudson River, opposite the Hudson House Restaurant and Inn, is a gazebo in the center of a lovely river park lined with benches. On a summer weekend you are likely to hear the sounds of music near the Cold Spring gazebo, a popular venue for live performances and concerts. If you enjoy fishing, drop your line and wait for a bite while you listen to the music and look out at the Hudson Highlands and the majestic Hudson River.

While picnicking or walking along the Cold Spring waterfront, look out across the river at the U.S. Military Academy of West Point. Plan a visit to West Point, only 30 minutes from Cold Spring. Another exceptional attraction in the Hudson Valley is Storm King Art Center located in Mountainville, Orange County, also just across the river. Storm King Art Center is considered one of the finest outdoor sculpture gardens in the world. Storm King "a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature" is situated on five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands that provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists.

The Hudson River not only provides magnificent landscapes and views, but also offers opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities such as kayaking, boating and fishing. Visit the beautiful Cold Spring Hiking Trails; Fahnestock State Park offers hiking trails (you can even walk a piece of the Appalachian Trail); or hike at Hudson Highlands State Park (an undeveloped wilderness preserve of 4000 acres). If relaxing is your thing, relax, unwind, and take a leisurely stroll while you listen to the sounds of the river against the shore.

Cold Spring is just down the road from the highly acclaimed Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in Garrison. "Few stages have wings like those of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, where the theater is an open-sided tent perched on a riverside knoll. For a classic summer night of theater, the glorious grounds of Boscobel provide perfect set and setting. Pre-theater picnicking sets the mood as festival-goers choose their view of the Hudson Highlands." by Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Brief History of Cold Spring
"The first settler of Cold Spring was Thomas Davenport in 1730. A small trading hamlet grew alongside the river by the early 1800s, and in 1818, Gouverneur Kemble and others established the West Point Foundry. It became one of the major industrial sites in the United States and provided munitions (including the famed Parrott gun) for the Union Army during the Civil War. With the influx of workers at the Foundry, local housing, businesses and churches increased, and Cold Spring was incorporated as a village in 1846. During the last half of the nineteenth century, Cold Spring was a magnet for artists, writers and prominent families, all attracted to the extraordinary beauty of the Highlands. Great mansions were built along Morris Avenue, including Undercliff, the home of George Pope Morris, and Craigside, the home of Julia and Daniel Butterfield. After the Foundry closed in 1911, Cold Spring’s prominence faded; however, following World II, a rebirth began with an influx of businesses into the Hudson River Valley and commuters to New York City. In 1973, the Village was designated a Federal Historic District, and tourists have been visiting Cold Spring’s historic sites, shops, restaurants and hiking trails ever since."
