Labor Day, 1925 - seven years after the end of "The Great War," an estimated 100,000 people gathered downtown to celebrate the opening of Binghamton's new Memorial Bridge. Spanning the Chenango River at Riverside Drive, the massive 5-arch concrete bridge was dedicated "to those citizens of Broome County whose unselfish service in our American wars expresses man's highest ideal of patriotic devotion." The celebration on opening day was reported to be the greatest celebratory event in the history of Binghamton. Broome County Historian Roger Luther will tell the story using news articles of the day, vintage personal accounts and historic documents.
