There will be unnumbered and numbered versions of the Lowell Covered Bridge Commemorative medal, to be issued in conjunction with Lowell?s Blackberry Jam Festival July 28-30.

To celebrate Lane County?s heritage and history, the Lane County Public Works Department introduced the first of 17 commemorative medals in November of 2005.
