Museum Exhibit Explores Building of Historic Bridge in Gloucester

The Cape Anne Beacon recently reported that he Cape Anne Historical Museum is exhibiting photographs of the construction of the A. Piatt Andrew Bridge.  The construction of the bridge was one of the most culturally significant events that happened to the Gloucester area.

Constructed in 1924, the bridge connected Gloucester to the rest of the world and changed the town for better and for worse. While making the town more accessible and viable for businesses, the bridge also took away some of the uniqueness of the then self-sustaining community.

Other than discussing the exhibit, the article written shows the impact the bridge had on several area natives and the local culture.

Although closed in February, The Cape Anne Historical Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.
