Evitts Creek Aqueduct

Evitts Creek Aqueduct

The Evitts Creek Aqueduct is the last of the 11 aqueducts on the Canal, and is made of “Fossilferous Tonoloway Limestone” quarried upstream and shipped to the aqueduct via a 1.5 mile railroad. Work began in 1839 and was completed in 1841 when the Canal company ran out of funds, with final touches and service beginning in 1850. Learn more.
