Bridge of Flowers

The Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts can serve as a possible model of what can be done in Darby. Built as a trolley bridge in 1908, the Shelburne Falls bridge was adopted by the local garden club and has now become a regional attraction and a focus of civic pride, bringing in some 15,000 visitors per year to a rural hill-town of 2000 people. Darby's bridge, being an easy trolley ride away from Philadelphia, can do the same.
