Plattsburgh’s Stone Arch Bridge – A historic dedication captured in photos
On November 11, 1930, thousands of Plattsburgh’s citizens turned out for the dedication of the city’s newest bridge. The Bridge Street Stone Arch Bridge replaced an aging and inelegant steel strut bridge to join the beautiful City Hall and McDonough Monument as iconic structures in Plattsburgh.
Join Roger Black on Monday, June 17th at 6:30 p.m. at the MHAB Life Skills Campus, 14 Dormitory Drive, Plattsburgh (off New York Road, then Idaho Avenue) for a talk about the bridge, the downtown area and to view photos of the event.
Roger Black is a volunteer with the Clinton County Historical Association with a special interest in the new CCHA website and the thousands of glass plate and celluloid negatives in the Clinton County Museum’s archives.
There will also be a zoom connection to the presentation which can be accessed by emailing the CCHA Director. For more information call 518-561-0340 or email director@clintoncountyhistorical.org. The event is free and open to the public. State and local COVID restrictions will be in force.
