SUMMARY:Dixon's Darkest Day by Tom Wadsworth
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, October 13\, Tom Wadsworth returns to Lost Lake Community to tell us the story of Dixon’s Darkest Day: The 1873 Collapse of the Truesdell Bridge. In terms of total deaths and injuries\, the tragedy still stands as the worst road bridge disaster in American history. This one-hour PowerPoint presentation includes many original photos and images from 1873\, and it features some fresh research and insights that have reported nationwide. \nA native Dixonite\, Tom Wadsworth has been hired for decades as an entertaining speaker for audiences from coast to coast and internationally. He holds two master’s degrees and a PhD and is now a local history columnist for the Dixon Telegraph. Tom’s interest in this topic is personal: his great-great-great grandmother drowned in that disaster\, while his great grandmother survived. \nThe event includes light refreshments and starts 2:00 p.m. at 404 Lake Court\, Dixon\, and is open to the public.
