A Crossing Situation

David Brooks from the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site joins us virtually to present a “mash-up” of Otis Eddy’s Aqueduct and Dam That Creek.

The program explains how Schoharie Creek was an impediment to the Erie Canal before the artificial river opened, and how Erie Canal engineers and builders determined how to cross the waters of the Schoharie from the earliest dam to the incredible John B. Jervis-designed Schoharie Creek Aqueduct, and what that meant for the success of the Erie Canal.
