Tinkling Spring Ride

Tinkling Spring Ride depicts historic Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church located in Fishersville, Virginia. The church is one of the oldest in Augusta County. The church was founded in 1740.

In early 2008, the tinkling spring, in which the church is named after, was renovated.  Howard McKnight Wilson in his book, “Tinkling Spring — Headwaters of Freedom” shares the following information about the tinkling spring:   “A cool spring of water – issuing from beneath a rock, gathering into a pool from which man lives, overflowing into a stream by which the plains were made alive – is a delightful work of nature. The earliest pioneers in the Valley of Virginia found a bold spring whose emerging waters made a musical sound upon the cavernous rocks, and they called it the tinkling spring.”

It is believed the two major trails used by Native Americans and pioneers alike may have crossed at this spring and it became an oasis where weary travelers were able to refresh themselves. The spring became the site where the first meeting house of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church was located and it remains active.  However, the musical sounds emanating from the spring have somewhat dimmed over the passages of many years.
