A hike near Mass Pike in Weston, Massachusetts
The Boston metropoliton area was growing in the 1890s leading to spike in water demand. Wachusett dam was built over the Nashua river in 1897 and its reservoir became the source for Weston reservoir, which received water via the 13.5 mile long Weston Aqueduct (reference: MWRA). This picture that I took from over the deck of the 25ft span concrete arch bridge (built 1902) at the junction of the aqueduct and the reservoir provides a magnificent view of the frozen Weston reservoir glistering in the soft winter sunlight.
