Join us on October 16th, 2024 at 7:30 PM as Scott Bomboy takes us on a virtual tour of the lost covered bridges of the Delaware River.  The Delaware River in Bucks County was one of the birthplaces of covered bridge building in America. But the last wooden structure spanning the river was demolished in 1945. What happened to the 11 great toll bridges that once connected Pennsylvania and New Jersey? Join local historian R. Scott Bomboy for a look at rare photographs of the bridges and hear the fascinating stories connected with them.

R. Scott Bomboy is an author and historian who has frequently written about local history. He is the author of “Wooden Treasures: The Story of Bucks County’s Covered Bridges,” and the “American Hometown” book series about Perkasie. Bomboy is also chair of the Bucks County Covered Bridge Society. In his journalism career, Bomboy has received five Edward R. Murrow awards in television, and he currently is the editor of the National Constitution Center.
