Ashokan Reservoir Collection (On Display at the Olive Free Library)
The Ulster County Clerk’s Office is pleased to collaborate with the Olive Free Library, and bring to you a piece of the history behind the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir. The Ashokan Reservoir was constructed between the years of 1905 and 1916 for the sole purpose of providing New York City with fresh water. As a result of this monumental project, numerous records were produced.
