Early Bridge Dreams

November 3, 1932 Oshkosh Northwestern

 

History shows that there was a bridge across Little Lake Butte des Morts in the 19th century but eventually was abandoned as it fell into disrepair.  The idea of a new bridge never died.  Even though it took until the 1970's to construct a bridge, the above article from 1932 shows that the idea had been kept alive consistently for many, many years.  See previous posts at: http://menashabook.blogspot.com/2012/09/roland-kampo-bridge.html and http://menashabook.blogspot.com/2013/12/first-butte-des-morts-bridge.html for more information about bridging LLBDM.
