Cold Springs
From Salem Links and Lore
- A natural spring near present day Kernwood Country Club that was used for drinking water by the locals. It was located on Liberty Hill Avenue and Kernwood Road.
- Cold Spring was so called as early as 1793.
- It was known as Goodale's spring as early 1658, because Robert Goodale owned it and lived in the field northeasterly of it at the time.
- According to the Visitor's Guide to Salem (1937 ed.) Liberty Hill had been a park and a favorite resort for many people on account of the "Cold Spring". These springs of pure cold water have been used for centuries.
