Lebanon Trivia :.
The Shaker Mount Lebanon’s North Family Dairy Barn is the largest
stone barn in the Northeast and the Old Chatham Shaker Museums new
home.
One of New Lebanon’s first settlers was “Lucky” James Hitchcock. He
took a dip in the town’s warm springs in 1756. The warm springs were
famous for many years. People came to New Lebanon to “take the
waters” and cure their illnesses.
The warm spring is at the top of Spring Hill Road in Lebanon
Springs. Indians discovered the warm springs and brought the first
white man, Lt. James Hitchcock, to the springs to bathe in the
healing waters in 1756.
“Lucky” James Hitchcock was one of New Lebanon’s first settlers.
The Indian’s Blessing Fountain, located on Route 22 in Lebanon
Springs, was erected by the Lebanon Valley Garden Club in 1940, to
bring the curative waters from the Warm Spring for the benefit of
mankind.
