Own a piece of history!
For a limited time replicas of the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge will be for sale at local shops.
The City of Duluth has partnered with John Poole, a nationally known artist, and Artist in Resident at Smith Foundry Company in Minneapolis, to produce replicas of Duluth’s world famous landmark. Each replica contains steel that was actually part of the Aerial Bridge and each comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Mayor Ness and Ryan Beamer, the Aerial Bridge Supervisor.
Each replica is hand-made and is 5 inches wide by 3 inches high. Currently, only 300 are slated for manufacture, and they are available at these retailers.
