Sometimes called "the eighth wonder of the world," the Croton Dam is second only to Egypt's great pyramid when it comes to hand-hewn stone structures. On New Year's Day 2007 it observed its 100th birthday. Visitors are awed by the water cascading over the spillway and immensity of the construction. Route 129 about two miles north-east of the Village of Croton. (914) 271-3293.
