9/10 OLD CROTON AQUEDUCT IN ART---CORNELIA COTTON--CROTON LIBRARY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Thanks Marc Cheshire, Village Historian---for the heads-up about this event:

Old Croton Aqueduct in Art-----When Cornelia Cotton opened an art gallery in Croton in 1979, one of the earliest gallery shows was called “Croton Water”– the first time that prints, maps, and ephemera of the Old Croton Aqueduct were shown as an art exhibit. Cornelia was active on efforts to preserve the Aqueduct early on, and after the Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct (FOCA) was founded she served on its board for many years. Her presentation will feature a wide variety of images of sites along the Aqueduct, which ran from the Town of Yorktown to The Bronx, crossed the High Bridge over the East River into Manhattan and continued to Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street at the site of the New York Public Library.

Thursday, September 10, 7 p.m. at the Croton Free Library, 171 Cleveland Drive, Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
