HISTORIC VILLAGE OF COLD SPRING

Poster for Putnam County Situated on the banks of the Hudson, the small, sleepy Village of Cold Spring is known for its antique and specialty shops, and many fine restaurants. After exploring you can sit on the dock and take in a magnificent sunset. Stay at a quaint country inn or bed & breakfast; all within walking distance of the Cold Spring Station - only a one-hour scenic Metro-North train ride from New York City.
