Hey readers, did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge is celebrating a jubilee? Yessiree, our golden treasure turns 75 this year.
The California Historical Society is in on the celebrations with their exhibit A Wild Flight of the Imagination: The Story of the Golden Gate Bridge. Due to open on February 26th, 2012 the exhibit will include rarely seen works of art, personal letters, photographs, film footage, and artifacts from 100 years before the bridge to opening day in 1937.
Visitors will learn about what Bay Area life was like pre-bridge (think ferry rides), how the public initially reacted to the bridge proposal (lacked enthusiasm), and the media campaign behind the project (extensive).
To kick off the exhibit the California Historical Society is having a party on Sunday, February 26 (the anniversary of the day the project broke ground in 1933), 2:30-4:30. 678 Mission Street, SF.
Attendees are encouraged to dress in their 1930s best for a little dancing to the Frisky Frolics , photo ops with the Deco Belles, and posing next to some classic vintage cars. Co-sponsored by the Art Deco Society of California, this is a not-to-be-missed event. RSVP: Wildflight.eventbrite.com
Seventy-five years as golden as ever and still going strong. That is something to celebrate.
