This extensive documentation includes the disassembly, restoration, and reconstruction of the bridge over the Maiden Creek. With such a wealth of images, every angle is explored, unveiling a few intriguing mysteries along the way.
This program will be held in person, inside the BHC Museum Auditorium. The cost of this program is $5/BHC Members and $10/Non-Members. The program fee includes admission to the BHC Museum. Coffee and light refreshments will be made available for participants at 9:30 AM.
