River, Bridge & Ferry Exhibit
A New River Bridges and Ferries exhibit is on display at Glencoe Museum. This exhibit features both new and unpublished vintage images of the New River around Radford. Radford University student and Radford Public Library employee Crystal Henderson shot several of the new photographs, and used her computer skills to enhance several of the vintage images. One of the museum’s latest acquisitions is also a part of the new exhibit: a striking view of Memorial Bridge shot on color film, shortly after the bridge was completed in 1949. The large photo was donated to Glencoe Museum by Bruce Cunningham and was originally on display at the Virginia Department of Transportation office in Richmond. Mr. Cunningham acquired the photograph and personally had the image re-framed for Glencoe Museum. The New River Bridges and Ferries exhibit will be ongoing at Glencoe Museum throughout the summer. If you have not had the chance to see the Bridge, River and Ferry exhibit come by the museum and take a look!
Bruce Cunningham presented this framed photograph of Memorial Bridge to John Barksdale the new director of Glencoe Museum and the Radford Heritage Foundation in June.
