Wednesday June 10, 2026, 6:00-8:00 p.m:
an illustrated talk by Robert P. Thomas, AIA

Join us for a slide-show adventure to the scenic Upper Delaware River above tidewater at Trenton NJ and its historic bridges up to Port Jervis NY.  We’ll learn not only about the bridges’ details and many of their wooden predecessors, but also about their social and commercial position in the history of this beautiful valley.  We’ll learn as well about bridges that no longer exist, and why they were never replaced or completed.

The program will be also be simulcast on Zoom at this link: :
