Bridges play an important roll in the economic and social
history of a community. Connecting Tilghman Island to the mainland since
1934, the Tilghman Island Bridge is a landmark listed in the National
Register of Historic Places. When the time came for the bridge to be
replaced, the community felt it deserved to be preserved. This is the story
of the painstaking effort to dismantle the old bridge, replace it with a new
bridge; then re-build the old bridge, which can now be seen at the
Chesapeake Bay Marine Museum as a part of Maryland's maritime history. In
this age, when old landmarks need to be updated, this is an important
program that shows the history that is preserved with such an effort and
offers a deeper appreciation of the newly constructed structure. Produced by
