LOST INWOOD

– Uptown’s Springs, Wells, and Water –

-TUESDAY APRIL 7th at 7:30PM-

Water. We all need it. But running household tap water wasn’t available to Inwood residents until the latter part of the 1800s. Before it became possible to simply turn on a faucet, how did people get fresh water to drink and use? And when did municipal water arrive in Inwood?

This month at LOST INWOOD we’ll discover the fascinating network of springs, wells, creeks and canals which dotted northern Manhattan and Inwood. We’ll use our virtual dowsing rods to trace their story. Where were Inwood’s springs and wells of yesteryear? Are any of them still around? You might be surprised.

Please join us Tuesday Apr 7th at 7:30pm. It’s free to the public, but reservations are recommended. Hope to see you there!
