About Us Morgan Bridge

The Morgan Bridge that connects East Dudley Street to the grounds was designed by City of Memphis Engineer and Elmwood resident J. A. Omberg. A span bridge design was used to ensure the clearance of the under-passing trains and to give visitors a breath-taking panoramic view when they enter the grounds.

The Morgan Bridge was entered on the National Register of Historic Places as project number #02000233 on May 22, 1978.

The Morgan Bridge was endowed through a gift to Elmwood by Musette and Allen B. Morgan, Jr.
