BCHS 95th Annual Meeting: "Collapsed: A Survivor's Climb from the Wreckage of the Interstate 35W Bridge"

The Brown County Historical Society (BCHS) will hold its 95th Annual Meeting on Thursday, November 13th, 2025 at Turner Hall in New Ulm. The night will begin with socializing at 6 pm, followed by dinner at 6:30 pm. The business meeting will begin at 7 pm and the program will follow immediately after the business meeting.

Our featured speaker is Garrett Ebling. He will be presenting “Collapsed: A Survivor's Climb from the Wreckage of the Interstate 35W Bridge". On August 1, 2007, the Interstate 35W Bridge in Minneapolis collapsed beneath more than 140 commuters into the Mississippi River in a cloud of dust, smoke, and flame during the evening rush hour; Ebling was one of them. He tells the story that has been missing from the investigations and the political debates - the story of the survivors.
