Cove Park was the site of the State Prison for many years. If you walk to the left of the gravel bike path just as it turns to follow the cove you’ll see the outlines of a stone wall – the prison burying ground.
Enjoy the park it’s a great place to watch vintage baseball, the fireworks and visit the Farmers Market in season. The gravel trail brings you to the Cove and the Cove Warehouse.
“Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—Sailed on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew…………………..
All night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinkling foam,—Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe, Bringing the fishermen home: ‘Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed As if it could not be; And some folk thought ‘twas a dream they’d dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea; But I shall name you the fishermen three: Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, And Nod is a little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one’s trundle-bed; So shut your eyes while Mother sings Of wonderful sights that be, And you shall see the beautiful things As you rock in the misty sea Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:— Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.”
