Description

Samuel Huston Sr.
Guest Ticket for Henry A. Lorberg for a Complimentary Dinner to commemorate the opening of the Grant Bridge on September 22, 1927 at the First Christian Church.
The bridge was opened in August of 1927 and was the first bridge to make it all the way across the Ohio River to reach Kentucky from Portsmouth, Ohio, thus connecting the two states. Though the bridge was only opened to walking traffic at first, it did allow cars to pass over it in September of 1927. The new U. S. Grant Bridge would replace this one in 2006.
