Located in the heart of the scenic Hudson Highlands, indeed at the deepest point of the Hudson River, Cold Spring is a tiny village, but jam-packed with history. The central area of Cold Spring is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Cold Spring Historic District due to its many well-preserved buildings from the 19th century.Around Cold Springfeatures images of Cold Spring, the neighboring hamlet of Garrison, and the village of Nelsonville. Many of the photographs date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and depict street scenes, patriotic celebrations, and historic or architecturally significant buildings like mansions, churches, and schools. Photographs, postcards, and other visual materials further illuminate the story of Cold Spring and its surrounding area.
