The Tappan Zee Bridge: Transforming Rockland County
The Historical Society of Rockland County and Clarkstown 225th Anniversary Committee Invite You to Join Us for
The Tappan Zee Bridge: Transforming Rockland County
A Film Screening and Discussion
When: October 20, 2016, 7:30 pm SHARP
Where: HSRC Community Room, 20 Zukor Road, New City
Price: $FREE (but space is limited, and pre-registration is required)
Built during a time of great optimism in America, the Tappan Zee Bridge led Rockland County into the era of the automobile. Along with the New York State Thruway, the bridge enabled Rockland County to modernize its roads and support a highway system that would tie it to the rest of the country. Cutting-edge building techniques anchored the Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson and connected two shores where only ferries had once made the crossing.
Come along on this ride of progress and discover the remarkable story of the cantilever bridge that transformed Rockland County!
This 30-minute film was created as part of the HSRC's 2009 exhibition celebrating the quadricentennial of the Hudson River. After the screening, well open the floor for a discussion about how the impact the bridge has had on people and places in the county and how the new bridge might affect our community.
Please arrive early to avoid interruptions. The event will begin promptly at 7:30 pm. Latecomers with reservations may forfeit their seats. Walk-ins will be admitted only if space permits.
