On Building the Mackinac Bridge

The Lorenzo Cultural Center travels back in time with its latest exhibit, "The 1950s: Affluence and Anxiety in the Atomic Age."

The March 18 lecture is on "Building the Mackinac Bridge," where author Mike Fornes discusses the 3-year construction project that officially opened in 1957. He'll discuss the effort to procure funding, the feat of engineering, and other details about the bridge that linked Michigan's peninsulas.

The lecture is free to attend, but please reserve your spot by calling 586-445-7348.
