Black and white postcard showing a picture of Two Medicine Bridge near Glacier National Park in 1900. The original photo was taken by William H. Meade. The caption on the back "the first bridge over the Two Medicine River was built during the summer of 1891. It took 45 days to complete and required three–quarters of a million board feet of timber. stories about the 214 foot high structure indicate that it swayed back and forth in high winds." This postcard is numbered 006 and was produced by the GNRHS in 1998.
