About the Old Bridge Preservation Society:
The Old Bridge Preservation Society was formed in the summer of 2010 by three Sunset Beach women who thought the iconic swing bridge deserved to be saved. Their initial efforts were geared toward encouraging the Town of Sunset Beach to relocate the bridge, but when that didn’t succeed the group moved forward independently.
Land was generously donated to allow for a new home for the Old Bridge. Today the bridge and tender house are nestled in a shady spot surrounded by beautiful oak trees and restoration work is underway.
A group of volunteers have turned the Old Bridge into a museum that displays the history as well as highlighting the technical operations of the swing bridge. They hold fundraising events to support restoration and preservation efforts, encouraging locals and visitors to take place in the story of the bridge. The Old Bridge Preservation Society is committed not only to preserving the structure, but continuing to celebrate the spirit of the Old Sunset Beach Bridge.
