The Keeper’s House offers a cozy destination for pre-school students and after-school program participants who are out exploring the trail throughout the coldest months. Park staff, Laura Compagni and Rob Lee, have created field trip programs for local kids that explore a range of questions about what’s under the trail, what you might find in the trees above the trail, and the history and traditions of the people who lived along the trail in the past.

"The Croton Arch of Triumph" is a 2022 sculpture by artist/architect Dionisio Cortes Ortega. Using historically-accurate materials and working to scale, Ortega re-created a cross-section of the original Old Croton Aqueduct Tunnel completed in 1842. The Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct commissioned Ortega to build this sculpture next to the trail at The Keeper's House in Dobbs Ferry over several weeks in October/November 2022.
