FROM THE ARCHIVES - Lincoln Park's High Bridge / Suicide Bridge

Send us Fan Mail ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2020. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Lincoln Park had a “High Bridge” which rose 75 feet over the south lagoon's water. As welcoming to sightseers as the big beautiful bridge was, it also had a dark appeal, quickly earning it the dubious name “Suicide Bridge.” Viking Ship at Good Templar Park in Geneva, IL: https://vikingship.us/ Amazon Affiliate Links (anything you buy - not just this stuff - through these links helps benefit the show at no cost to you): Lincoln Park (Images of America) https://amzn.to/3Ei6iZ3 (Hardcover) https://amzn.to/4ls3zgd (Kindle - FREE with Kindle Unlimited) Join Kindle Unlimited here: https://amzn.to/2WsP1GH Hidden History of Lincoln Park by Patrick Butler and Michelle Smith https://amzn.to/4cyTk5U Lincoln Park 1000-piece Puzzle https://amzn.to/4cyTl9Y Chicago History Podcast Clothing, Mugs, Totes, & More (your purchase helps support the podcast): https://www.teepublic.com/user/chicago-history-podcast https://teespring.com/stores/chicago-history-podcast Chicago History Podcast (chicagohistorypod AT gmail.com): https://www.podpage.com/chicago-history-podcast/ https://www.facebook.com/Chicago-History-Podcast-107482214277883 https://www.instagram.com/chicagohistorypod/ Chicago History Podcast Art by John K.
