Edgell Memorial Library
3 Oak St, Framingham
Whether you’re an engineer, a river watcher, historian or generally interested in goings on about town, you will want to join us for a presentation of photographs documenting the reconstruction of the Main St. bridge over the Sudbury River. What took 8 months to build in 1878 took 4 years in modern times – 2005-2009. Cliff Henrickson lived in the historic house on the Sudbury River next to the bridge and had a perfect vantage point to document the tearing down and reconstructing of the old bow string pony truss. Town Historian Fred Wallace will provide a brief history on the original construction (General George Gordon oversaw the project) followed by Cliff’s photographs.
Refreshments served. Suggested donation $5.00
