ZOOM Film Screening-Q&A: Tappan Zee Bridge

The Historical Society of Rockland County Invites You to Join Us for

The Tappan Zee Bridge: Transforming Rockland County
Film Screening and Q&A

When: Monday, December 14, 2020, 7:00 pm SHARP
Where: ZOOM – Online (Zoom link provided with your confirmed reservation)
Price: $FREE (but reservations are required)

Built during a time of great optimism in America, the Tappan Zee Bridge led Rockland County into the era of the automobile. Along with the New York State Thruway, the bridge enabled Rockland County to modernize its roads and support a highway system that would tie it to the rest of the country.  Cutting-edge building techniques anchored the Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson and connected two shores where only ferries had once made the crossing.

Come along on this ride of progress and discover the remarkable story of the cantilever bridge that transformed Rockland County. We'll screen the 30-minute film produced, directed, and edited by Brian Crowder and Annmarie Lanesey, followed by a Q&A with Winston Perry, who witnessed firsthand the impact this transformation had on the Village of Nyack.
