Laurie Johnson took this photo of Main Street in Golden in 1937.

Golden resident Carol Braisher recently dropped by The Star’s office to showcase some historic photos of the town.

Her father Laurie Johnson took the two photos of downtown Golden.

Both pictures were taken from the same angle of Main Street.

The left photo below was taken in the spring of 1937 and the other in 1975.

Take a look back at these archival pages from the Golden Star and Golden News about the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge.

Built in 2001 by volunteer timber framers and locals, this iconic bridge is Canada’s longest freestanding timber-frame structure and a true symbol of community connection.

Now, 25 years later, it’s time to celebrate!

Join us at Spirit Square tomorrow evening (Saturday, Sept 26) to celebrate the 25th anniversary. See you there, Golden!

Thanks to the Golden & District Community for hosting such a fun night!
