Chronicles: The Ancram Swimming Pool
A little bird told me the Ancram swimming pool is reopening for the summer season. Before the Ancram swimming pool and adjacent Blass Memorial Field were built in 1960, Ancram swimmers, myself included, cooled off in Round Hole, a sharp kink in the Roeliff Jansen Kill about a mile out of town. Round Hole was down a dirt lane off what is now private property on Wiltsie Bridge Road, where swimmers shared the waters with snapping turtles the size of wash tubs. Meanwhile, Holstein milk cows from Sommerhoff Farm cooled off upstream; in the 1950s, the “solution to pollution was dilution.”
