Description
Constructed of limestone extracted upstream from Tonoloway Creek, a 31-mile tributary of the Potomac River, the Tonoloway Aqueduct was built between 1835 and 1839. The aqueduct's cement came from nearby Captain Hooks Mill in West Virginia, but during a water shortage in 1837, it had to be imported from Boteler’s Mill and Baltimore.
The aqueduct is just a short walk from the Hancock Visitor Center.
