About this Event

About fifty years ago, the last inhabitant of Drawbridge left. Drawbridge was a small community in the middle of the South Bay marshes, about 3 miles north of Alviso, that existed from the late 1880s to mid-1970s. Learn about what was the catalyst for it to form, why people lived there, and about their life and times on Drawbridge.

The presentation will take place in the Education Room of the Visitor Contact Station at the Don Edwards SF Bay NWR in Fremont.

This program is presented by USFWS volunteer Ceal Craig with support from the (SFBayWS), the nonprofit Friends group supporting the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
