Fall Dinner Meeting with Denis Gardner

Denis Gardner, author of “Wood + Concrete + Stone + Steel: Minnesota’s  Historic Bridges” will be the featured guest speaker at the annual WCHS Fall Membership Meeting to discuss historic Washington County bridges.

“Gardner’s exhaustive history of bridge building in Minnesota is a refreshing reminder that we once lived in a state where government—and the private sector—took pride in creating artful infrastructure. With the help of historical photographs, Gardner offers a rare glimpse at the engineering feats that characterized Minneapolis’s early years.” – Minneapolis Observer Quarterly
