Come and hear R. Scott Bomboy, author of “Wooden Treasures: The Story of Bucks County’s Covered Bridges”. Mr. Bomboy will speak about his book on Tuesday, October 25 at 7:30 PM at the Newtown Theatre.

He has received national awards for his work in journalism and holds degrees in history from Penn State University and Arizona State University. He also produced the website BucksBridges.com as a joint project between the Bucks County Historical Society and Arizona State.
He currently works as editor-in-chief at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
