DC Bridge Book Tour Update!
The next author event for my book, Bridges of Washington, D.C.: A History & Guide, will be the Overbeck Lecture for the Capitol Hill History Project on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. The presentation will be held at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital, at 921 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE. The website for the lecture is https://www.capitolhillhistory.org/lecture-series. Admission is free, but they are asking folks to make reservations in advance, using the link on their website.
As requested by the sponsors, I am customizing my regular “full DC” presentation to place an emphasis on historic and current bridges near Capitol Hill, including those on the Anacostia River. Last week, I had the honor of giving a differently-focused presentation to the Landmark Committee of the DC Preservation League. I greatly appreciate not only being invited for events and lectures, but often being asked to customize my talk for a specific purpose or location. Each time I do this, I am forced to look at the bridges from a different angle, so even though the book was published almost a year ago, I continue to learn new details and perspectives about Washington, DC history!
I am still working on arranging other presentations in December and January, so stay tuned!
