Meeting Schedule
The Society meets four times a year. Our Winter Gathering is early in the year and just for members to meet up and talk about what we did over the winter. Our other three meetings involve visiting bridges and other nearby historical sites, as well as voting and discussing Society business.
The 2023 meeting sites have been determined and the dates are now set. As more information becomes available, it will be added below. The Fall Meeting may change as details are worked out.
