Today’s Excelsior Springs Standard has an ad seeking bids for the rehabilitation of the Dunbar bridge. On April 8, 1908, work began on the Dunbar bridge. In October of that year, the Standard reported that 164 men and 41 teams of horses were working to finish Dunbar Avenue. The street was blasted out of solid rock. The winding boulevard in Forest Park was designed for what we used to call “Sunday drives.” "When it is paved, it will be one of the prettiest drives in the city," the Standard writer said. The undated postcard below likely was printed circa 1909-1910. Be sure to check out the Museum's great postcard collection when you visit!
