Field Trip to High Bridge 7/16/16

High Bridge was originally built in 1848 to hold an aqueduct pipe bringing water to NYC.  It was made obsolete in 1928, when more modern aqueducts were built for the city, then updated and reopened as a foot bridge and park in 2015.  The bridge connects The Bronx and Harlem.  It was my day to pick an activity, so I picked going here, since it is a part of the city we have never seen yet! Along the way we drove right by Yankee Stadium, too. Elder Williams
