1975.58.2Description
Photo of at least four people (two women in foreground, two men in background) ice skating on the aqueduct. There are many more people standing or sitting on the dirt berm in the background.
The accession paperwork says this was taken in 1916 when the aqueduct froze over, but the caption from the book "Mountains to Desert" identifies this a December 1913 skating party on the newly completed Los Angeles Aqueduct (near Manzanar). Another photo in the museum gives the date as Christmas 1911.Collection
