Description: This aqueduct, a bridge carrying water over water, was built over Tinkers Creek (Cuyahoga River) in 1905, replacing two earlier aqueducts. The original wood and masonry aqueduct was constructed in 1827 south of here. Flooding caused continual damage to the first aqueduct, so successive structures were built in the present location. One of four aqueducts in the Cuyahoga Valley, Tinkers Creek Aqueduct is the only one which remains today. An exhibit at this location has an illustration of a previous aqueduct and a caption that reads: This 1845 structure replace the original aqueduct at Tinkers Creek (Cuyahoga River), located to the south.
