La Crosse Bridge Association Records

Scope and Contents

This collection includes records of the La Crosse Bridge Association from 1935 and 1940.

After the initial folder of information about the collapse of the wagon bridge, subsequent folders include committee materials, such as fireworks, parade, race and traffic. Other files include correspondence, financial records, minutes, miscellaneous, personnel, La Crosse Tribune Bridge Edition drafts, and a scrapbook.

The scrapbook contains many original photographs that appeared in the La Crosse Tribune newspaper the day after the dedication, and include a copy of the original printed invitation, ribbons, and parade and dedication ceremony photographs.
