Cold Spring Harbor, located on the north shore of Long Island, New York, USA, is a quiet seaside village bordering the Long Island Sound, about 50 miles from Manhattan, known for its scientific research institutions and natural beauty. It is home to the state-of-the-art Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where scientists pushed the boundaries of life sciences in the 20th century, including some of the key research that led to the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA, making it one of the most important birthplaces of molecular biology. In addition to its scientific heritage, the town also retains 19th century Victorian architecture, a harbor where sailboats are often moored, and the surrounding Cold Spring Harbor State Park and Wildlife Refuge, which offers outdoor activities such as hiking and bird-watching, combining academic rigor with coastal relaxation, making it a unique destination on Long Island, New York, with both humanistic heritage and natural beauty.
