Assabet Aqueduct
Bring a little Northborough home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
Pour a glass of water and set it beside a book or a place at the table, leaving a few minutes for a quiet drink before the next task. Northborough's masonry aqueduct and its reflected arches give the Assabet a piece of water infrastructure to notice beside the river itself.
An 1897 photograph records Northborough's masonry Assabet aqueduct and its water reflections. Preserved in the Massachusetts Archives' Metropolitan Water Works collection, the image documents water infrastructure. The arches belong to an aqueduct, giving this riverside landmark a different purpose from the valley's railway bridges.
The aqueduct connects the river landscape with water supply. A quiet evening, a book and a glass of water leave room for the view as part of a simple moment at home.
