Back to Archive. Back to BRIDGER.and VCBS 2nd All Member Meeting! July 14 & 15
The event will be based in Jeffersonville, home of VCBS (well, our post office box, anyway) and will include an opportunity to walk to two excellent bridges, the Canyon/Grist Mill and the Cambridge Junction/Poland. The latter received some much needed repairs during the winter, coming just in time before being threatened by ice-out, and is an interesting case study in terms of preservation policy.
Most events will be held Saturday, July 14, but the organized tours will continue Sunday, July 15, so that we can "cover" all the bridges in the area.
