The Kingston Historical Society will hold a program entitled “Carnegie Lake and its Dam” at 7:30 p.m. June 2 at the Kingston firehouse, 6 Heathcote Road, Kingston.
Located approximately 2 miles downstream of the confluence of the Stony Brook and Millstone River, the Carnegie Lake Dam helped create the body of water enjoyed by Princeton University’s crew and local residents.
Princeton University’s facilities engineers, along with consultants, have developed plans for structural repairs, which will begin in June. The work will not impact the level of the lake, and it is not expected to impact traffic or pedestrian routes.
Princeton University Facilities Engineer Robert Ortego will give an illustrated presentation of the planned repairs to the dam, and an illustrated presentation on the history of the lake and its dam will be provided.
The program is free, and all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, visit www.khsnj.org or call 609-223-3877.
