This small park is right next to The Depot. I’ve never been entirely sure whether it’s part of the restaurant or not.

It can be a pleasant place to sit in warm weather, but its main claim to fame is probably the plaque seen in the last two pictures. In case you can’t see it well it reads:


GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
In frequent visits to the American
Troops encamped nearby during the
WAR OF THE REVOLUTION
Drank at this spring and gave it its name
COLD SPRING

I wonder if this claim is verifiable, or if it’s just a variation on the “George Washington, slept here” theme.
