Town Of Ulster Spring, Town Of Ulster, New York

Beautiful little spring set in a park. You can place your jugs on the platform while filling them.

It was named after an abandoned cemetery that is adjacent. An old concrete curb marks the spot. You should respect the neighbouring houses. I have been using it for 10+ years.

Description
It was found in a clearing with trees and a hand pump. It sounds silly, but to prime the pump you must bring a gallon water. You can use a small stream running along a stone wall to priming the pump.
An indication is placed next to the spring. "When Mother Cabrini purchased the property in 1890 to create an orphanage for women, there was no water on its grounds. Mother Cabrini gave instructions to the sisters to dig at this spot by the grace and power of God. Water came forth, which continues today to flow and provide water for St. Cabrini's children."
