May 4, 2007: Dr. George Lewis, President of the Catoctin
Aqueduct Restoration Fund, Inc. recently gathered with supporters of
the Community Foundation’s C&O Canal Current Initiatives/Catoctin
Aqueduct Restoration Fund.
Located at the 51.5 milepost along the C&O Canal, the 134-foot
Aqueduct, featuring a three arch design, was built in the 1830s to
carry the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal over Catoctin Creek, a major
tributary of the Potomac River. Restoration efforts of the Aqueduct
are scheduled to begin in 2008.
