Hamden History:
“In 1820, the architect Ithiel Town wrote to Eli Whitney requesting a written opinion of the model of a wooden bridge on which Town that year had filed a patent. Whitney's reply, ‘its simplicity, lightness, strength, cheapness & durability, are in my opinion such as to render it highly worthy of attention,’ recognized the admirable qualities of (Ithiel) Town's bridge, which was in fact a major design innovation.
The original bridge, located a distance north of the Whitney Site, was destroyed in flooding around the turn of the 20th century. In 1979, students from Eli Whitney Vocational-Technical High School reconstructed the bridge at its current site.”
For more details on the full story of the historic bridge, visit the Eli Whitney Museum website.
