Walk on Water: Croton Aqueduct up Amsterdam Avenue to the High Bridge

Janes Walk

Led By Teresa Elwert, None

Follow the path of the Croton Aqueduct from 105th St. and Amsterdam to the High Bridge (the first bridge in NYC) at 173rd St. and the Harlem River. Along the way, you’ll discover structures that controlled the flow of water, why some apartment buildings’ sides are angled curiously, and learn how the engineers got water to flow through a 16-block long valley, plus more!
