Warrensburgh, a hamlet in the southern Adirondack Mountains at the confluence of the Schroon and Hudson Rivers, was established on February 12, 1813. Known as the “Queen Village of the Adirondacks,” it is marked by open space, mountains, rivers and lakes, parks and recreational areas, a rich industrial history, and diverse architectural heritage. The Bicentennial Garden in Marcus Brice Park was created for the 200th anniversary of the Town of Warrensburgh, with pear trees along one side, a large bed of blue and gold perennials and shrubs on the other, and benches inside for reflection on local history. Its focal point is the McNutt Fountain, once located at Main, Hudson, and Elm Streets across from the future site of the Floyd Bennett Bandstand. Given by Warrensburgh native Randolph McNutt, this cast-iron drinking fountain for people and animals was connected to the Warrensburgh water works and stood in Park Square from 1897 to 1928. Cast by the J.L. Mott Foundry of New York City, it had a large basin for horses, a smaller basin for dogs, a small basin for birds, and a brass plate reading, “Boys! This drink is one on me. ~Randolp McNutt”. As motorized vehicles replaced horses and traffic increased, the fountain became less useful and was removed, then stored and later kept on private property for years before being returned to the town. Warrensburgh Beautification Inc., a nonprofit formed in 1984 to preserve, revitalize, and beautify the town, worked from the late 1980s to save, restore, and return the fountain to the community and began planning the garden in 2013, with help from Fred Witz, Warrensburg Car Care, landscape architect John Franchini, local artist Mary Leonard, and the Town of Warrensburg. The Bicentennial Garden is dedicated to the memory of Warrensburgh native Lenore Smith, a successful businesswoman, founding board member of Warrensburgh Beautification Inc., champion of architectural historic preservation, avid gardener, tireless volunteer, and inspiration whose legacy lives on in the people she touched and in the preservation of nearly twenty homes and several businesses in the historic hamlet.
