Centennial Celebration
In 2008, Cliveden, a National Historic Landmark and museum in Germantown owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the completion of the bridge. Only a few blocks from the Walnut Lane Bridge, Cliveden is hosting an exhibition and educational program on the construction of the bridge, featuring a collection of rare lantern slides. The exhibit runs from May through October.

Famous quotes containing the word celebration:
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
