Newton Street Bridge

Bring a little Waltham home.

Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches

There is room for a picture on the wall you pass on the way to the kitchen or a favorite chair. The three stone arches of Waltham's Newton Street Bridge give an everyday river crossing a particular shape to return to in the view.

Waltham's Newton Street crossing has a history that reaches back to 1761. A new three-arched stone bridge was built in 1877 by Hiram Blaisdell of Concord. The National Park Service's historical context distinguishes those episodes, helping place this river crossing within the city's changing routes and industrial landscape.

The crossing connects Waltham's local roads with successive stages of bridge building, giving the arches a history beyond their appearance above the water. Give the sign a place indoors where you can notice its picture during the day.
