School groups from NYC, Brooklyn and Westchester - as well as adult groups - have discovered that the Friends give an exciting presentation of the history of the Aqueduct with tours inside the tunnel and to the Croton Dam.
Here's a sample of the groups:
- 2nd Graders from the Buckley school for boys in NYC (see image right)
- Students from Eugene Lang College (part of the New School)
- The Columbia University Preservation department. (This group did an impressive study of the Aqueduct)
- The Forestry Department of City Parks, NYC.
In addition:
- 50 twelfth graders from the Wheels School in uptown NYC
- 90 students from Seven Bridges School in Chappaqua
- 50 members of the Bedford Garden Club
In April we are expecting 30 Social studies teachers, who will then pass the story on to
their students.
