New York City's Croton Water Supply & Lasdon Park

This week I want to travel to Westchester County and show you part of the Croton Aqueduct System which delivers water to New York City. First, I will show you the site of the Old Croton Dam and then we will visit the New Croton Dam which still plays an important role today. Afterwards, I also want to show you a nice place near by - Lasdon Park, Arboretum & Veterans Memorial. I hope you enjoy!!
