This is a video made from some 8m movies my dad shot in 1957 before the bridge was completed. At the time he was a salesman for 3M. So, this is probably the first trip over the bridge by a non-employee.

  • Yes, You can imagine what I thought when I came across it while going through our family 8mm. films. Fortunately, I was able to call my dad and find out the story. He had just turned 85 when I shot the video. I see that there are other early videos of crossing the bridge, but I haven't seen an earlier one. I wonder if the state has a video of any earlier crossing?
