Newton Street Bridge

Bring a little Waltham home.

Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches

When the kettle boils, these coasters give the cups a place on the table. 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. The set can be a useful gift for the table at home, with the local subject part of the cups and conversation.
