Salsbury Spring provided drinking water and cooled the milk for the 250 acre dairy farm of Capt. Harmon L. Salsbury (1838-1913), commander of the US Colored Troop Company D, 26th Regiment from New York during the Civil War. The spring was the only source of water for the Vienna area during the drought of 1930 which dried up most wells. In 1938, Capt. Salsbury's wife and children donated this site to the Town of Vienna to be designated a park in his honor.
