About this episode
The Brooklyn Bridge changed the face of New York City—and of bridge-building itself. Completed in 1883, it was the longest suspension bridge of its time, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. Built with courage, creativity, and cutting-edge engineering, it became a symbol of progress. This episode explores how the bridge was built, the Roebling family’s role, and how it still stands strong today. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early : acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory 📖 We published our first book, Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy 📢 Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari ! 📺 YouTube 👍 Facebook | Instagram 🇲🇽 Spanish | "Déjame contarte la Historia"
