Martins Creek Viaduct
As you know the Martins Creek Viaduct will be 100 years old in 2015 as will the Tunnkhannock Viaduct. Nicholson Heritage Association (see our web site) is planning a 3 day celebration that year. Also I understand Brooklyn Historical Society is interested in doing something for the Martins' Creek Viaduct. When we did our 75th celebrationin 1990 we could not anyone interested in doing something for the little brother bridge "up route 11". Could someone do a brochue with the stats of the bridge? And some history? Would love to see that!
