Willow Hill Covered Bridge

The Willow Hill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge located off U.S. Route 30 that spans Miller’s Run (which flows into Mill Creek, a tributary of the Conestoga River) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was built in 1962 by Roy Zimmerman as a reconstruction using parts of the Miller's Farm Covered Bridge, built in 1871 by Elias McMellen, and Good's Fording Covered Bridge, built in 1855. It crosses Miller's Run and is 93 feet (28 m) long and 15 feet (4.6 m) wide. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on the outside. The inside is unpainted. Both approaches to the bridge are painted in the traditional white color. The bridge's WGCB Number is 38-36-43. Because it was constructed from two historic covered bridges, it is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places like most of the other covered bridges in the county. It is located at 40°1′30″N 76°12′11.9″W.

Wills Creek Bollman Bridge

The Wills Creek Bollman Bridge originally served the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Pittsburgh Division main line. Designed by the self-taught civil engineer Wendel Bollman in 1871, this truss bridge is the last remaining span of the Pittsburgh Division line associated with Bollman. Around 1931, it was moved from Wills Creek to a location 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, after it was no longer able to safely carry heavier modern locomotives. It served as a vehicular bridge crossing CSX tracks on Long Road (Summit Township Road 381) at 39°49′48″N 79°02′34″W. The bridge was again relocated in 2007 to a location east of Meyersdale, where it now carries the Great Allegheny Passage trail over Scratch Hill Road at 39°49′06″N 78°59′41″W. Though it was designed by Wendell Bollman, it does not employ his famous Bollman truss, but rather a Warren truss. It is 52 feet (16 m) long and 13 feet (4.0 m) tall. The east abutments are constructed of concrete, while the west are earthen with wood ties. This bridge has a wood deck, and ornate cast iron end pieces, lacework, and compression members. End posts and tension members are constructed of wrought iron. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1978.

Wissahickon Memorial Bridge

The Wissahickon Memorial Bridge, originally called and still also known as the Henry Avenue Bridge, is a stone and concrete bridge that carries Henry Avenue over Wissahickon Creek and Lincoln Drive in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. History It is a two-ribbed, open-spandrel, reinforced concrete arch bridge with one principal span. It was designed in 1927 by Paul Philippe Cret, a nationally acclaimed Philadelphia architect, in collaboration with Frank M. Masters, engineered by Ralph Modjeski and Clement E. Chase. It was completed in May 1932 at a cost of $1,648,775. It was designed to accommodate a lower deck, never constructed, to be used by trolleys or a subway extension to Roxborough. Shortly after its completion, it was renamed the Wissahickon Memorial Bridge and was dedicated to the people of Philadelphia's northwest neighborhoods who served in World War I. The bridge is 333 feet long, with a main span of 288 feet. Its 60-ft-wide roadway carries two lanes of traffic in each direction. The roadway is approximately 170 feet above the ground. The bridge was repaved and repaired between 2008 and late 2010. The bridge has been known as a suicide bridge since its opening. Beginning in 1941 for an unknown duration of time a policeman patrolled the span, questioning all pedestrians walking the bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The bridge was featured as a filming location in the 1981 film Blow Out starring John Travolta and directed by Brian De Palma.

Wissahickon Valley Park

Wissahickon Valley Park is a large urban park that is located in Northwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It protects 2,042 acres (8.26 km2) of woodland surrounding the Wissahickon Creek between the Montgomery County border and the Schuylkill River. For several miles, the creek winds through a dramatic wooded gorge known as the Wissahickon Valley, a National Natural Landmark. Forbidden Drive runs the length of the valley, a car-free gravel road popular for walking, running, cycling, and horseback riding. Side trails lead from Forbidden Drive up to rugged bridle paths suitable for hiking and trail riding. The park contains about 50 miles (80 km) of trails in total. The area was considered part of Fairmount Park from 1867 until the merger of the Fairmount Park Commission and the Department of Recreation in 2010. Today, Wissahickon Valley Park is a unit of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and remains the second-largest park in Philadelphia after Fairmount. History While logging and industrialization occurred in some parts of the valley in the late 18th and early 19th century, the gorge itself was known for its natural environment, inspiring religious mystics like Johannes Kelpius, writers like Edgar Allan Poe, John Greenleaf Whittier, George Lippard, and William Cobbett; and artists like Thomas Moran, James Peale, William Trost Richards, and Currier and Ives. In 1964, a 1,250-acre (5.1 km2) area of the park known as the Wissahickon Valley was designated a National Natural Landmark. Forbidden Drive Forbidden Drive, formerly known as the Wissahickon Turnpike, is a wide rocky trail running through the Wissahickon Valley from Ten Box to Cedars House at the upper end of the Park. It is called Forbidden Drive because of a successful protest against cars being allowed to drive in the park. In 1920, the Park Commission wanted to allow cars in the park, but 1,000 protesters on horseback and 12,000 spectators on foot fought against cars on the Wissahickon Turnpike. Every year, the Wissahickon Day Parade is held to celebrate the anniversary of this protest.

Wissahickon Valley Park

A Wissahickon Valley Park (magyarul: Wissahickon völgye park) 2042 angol hold (8,26 km2) parkerdő Philadelphia város észak-nyugati részén, beleértve a Wissahickon folyócskát (Wissahickon Creek) a Schuylkill folyóba torkollástól. A Forbidden Drive mentét gyalogosan, kerékpárral, illetve lóval lehet látogatni, azonban motoros járművek használata nem megengedett. A Forbidden Drive-ból kiinduló mellékösvények egészen a fával benőtt szurdok tetejéig vezetnek és teljes hosszuk eléri a 80 kilométert. A Philadelphia városi önkormányzat Philadelphia Parks & Recreation nevű osztálya kezeli a parkot, mely a második legnagyobb a városi parkok közül, a Fairmount Park után. A völgy 1250 angol hold (5,1 km2)-es részét 1964-ben nyilvánították nemzeti természeti tájékozódási ponttá (National Natural Landmark). Történet A völgy egyes részein fakitermelés, illetve iparosodás zajlott a XVIII. század végén és a XIX. század elején, de a szurdok már akkoriban ismert és elismert volt természeti értékeiről, mely olyan híres személyiségeket inspirált, mint az erdélyi szász misztikus Johannes Kelpius (1673-1708), vagy a költő Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), illetve a tájképfestő Thomas Moran (1837-1926). Kelpiust és követőit a "Wissahickon misztikusai"-nak nevezték, akik Wissahickon Creek közelében telepedtek le és remeteéletüket meditációnak és misztikus munkának szentelték. Egyesek az első amerikai rózsakereszteseknek tartják a közösséget.

Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania

Het Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMCP), opgericht in 1850, is het tweede medische opleidingsinstituut ter wereld dat werd opgericht om vrouwen op te leiden in de geneeskunde en hen af te laten studeren als arts. Het instituut werd in 1970 hernoemd tot The Medical College of Pennsylvania (MCP) nadat ook mannen aan de universiteit mochten studeren. Oorspronkelijk heette het WMCP ''The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania''; het veranderde in 1867 de naam naar ''Woman's medical Collega of Pennsylvania''. Het bijbehorende ''Women's Hospital of Philadelphia'' werd in 1861 opgericht. Het New England Female Medical College was in 1848 (twee jaar voor het WMCP) opgericht en was het allereerste opleidingsinstituut in de wereld waar vrouwen een geneeskundestudie konden volgen. In de jaren twintig bouwde het Women's Medical College een nieuwe campus in East Falls waar het onderwijs en de klinische zorg in een ziekenhuis in een faciliteit werd gecombineerd. Dit was het eerste daadwerkelijke ziekenhuis in de Verenigde Staten. In 1993 fuseerden de universiteit en het ziekenhuis met de Hahnemann Medical School. In 2003 fuseerden beide universiteiten met de Drexel University College of Medicine.

Female Medical College of Pennsylvania

Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, från 1867 kallat Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMCP), var en medicinsk högskola i Philadelphia i USA, grundad 1850. Det var världens andra högskola för kvinnliga läkarstuderande efter New England Female Medical College i Boston (1848). Det tillhörande universitetssjukhuset Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia öppnade 1861. Högskolan upplöstes som kvinnouniversitet när samundervisning infördes 1970 och fick då namnet Medical College of Pennsylvania (MCP). Högskolan upphörde då det 1993 förenades med Hahnemann Medical School; denna uppgick i sin tur 2003 i Drexel University College of Medicine. Historik Skolan grundades efter det uppmärksammade fallet med USA:s första kvinnliga läkare, Elizabeth Blackwell, som hade blivit accepterad vid en medicinsk högskola för män som ett undantagsfall. Fallet tydliggjorde att det fanns en efterfrågan på utbildning av kvinnliga läkare, men det fåtal högskolor som hade accepterat kvinnor som undantagsfall slutade att göra det när fler kvinnor började söka till universiteten. Därför grundades från 1850-talet flera högskolor som tog emot kvinnliga studenter, av vilka Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, jämsides med kvinnohögskolan vid New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children i New York, sågs som de främsta högskolorna för kvinnliga studenter fram till att de vanliga universiteten ett efter ett började öppnas för kvinnor, med början för University of Michigan 1870. Skolan utbildade en mängd kvinnliga pionjärer. Referenser Noter https://medicineatmichigan.org/sites/default/files/archives/v5womenhistory.pdf
