Covered Bridges Program Planned
Hamilton Public Library will host a program about New York State's covered bridges Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.in the library's Community Room.
"Spanning New York State" will be the topic of the program offered by Bob and Trish Kane members of numerous covered bridge organizations across the United States. Their presentation, an armchair tour of 33 of the state's existing historic covered bridges, will follow the business portion of the Historical Society's business meeting.
The public is welcome to this free event.
The Kane's have been actively pursuing the preservation of covered bridges since 1993. Currently, they are assisting the Oxford Town historian on a book about Theodore Burr, a famous bridge builder whose former home is located in Oxford.
In 2002, the Kane's spearheaded the DeLorme Atlas Project where Covered Bridge enthusiasts across the country joined them in submitting maps and directions to covered bridges to DeLorme for inclusion in future atlases.
They also are co-founders of a project titled Covered Spans of Yesteryear. Once completed, this endeavor will document all past covered bridges known to have existed in the United States and Canada (www.lostbridges.org).
The couple is also currently working on a driving tour of New York's covered bridges.
Following the presentation, the Kane's will have covered bridge information and memorabilia available to the public.
