This is a great family event that celebrates some of our local history. The bridge was built in 1697 and is one of the oldest stone arch bridges still in continuous use. The will be having activities and a dedication along with access to different exhibits, re-enactors, and historians. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and his wife will be there to meet and greet.
The event is this Saturday October 13th from 10am – 2pm. It is being held at the Frankford & Solly ave section of Pennypack Park. Parking may get difficult so I advise people to arrive a little early as the march across the bridge will begin promptly at 10am.
For more information you can check out the invite: http://www.w3r-us.org/temp-web/pa-bridge_flyer2.pdf
Although this is not an official pack event there is much for your scout to learn and achieve by visiting the bridge. Also if your scout wears his Class A uniform he will have an opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt and upon completing the hunt he will be awarded a special bandana.
