The first in a series of walking tours to learn about the history of Montpelier's built environment and its relationship to the Winooski River.
Located at the confluence of four rivers, Montpelier is, by necessity, a city of bridges. Discover the history and impact of downtown bridges on the Winooski and North Branch rivers. What role do they play during high water events? How have the bridges supported economic development and industry? Finally, learn about Montpelier Alive's efforts to light Montpelier's bridges this winter.
Hosted by: Paul Carnahan, Montpelier Historical Society, Bob McCollough, author of Crossings: A History of Vermont Bridges, and Vivian Ladd Tomasi, Coordinator, Montpelier Alive's Bridge Illumination Project
